A SUNDAY TIMES BOOK OF THE MONTH
Read by Joanne Froggatt, best known for her roles in Downton Abbey and Liar.
Breathlessly compulsive courtroom drama with expertly-crafted twists that you won't see coming, Dissection of a Murder is the razor-sharp debut novel from Jo Murray.
A dead judge. A silent defendant. And a courtroom full of liars.
When Leila Reynolds is handed her first murder case, she’s shocked at how high-profile it is: the murder of a well-respected, well-known judge. This shouldn’t be the kind of case she’s leading; it’s way beyond her expertise. But the defendant, Jack Millman, is clear. He wants her, and only her.
To make things worse, he’s refusing to talk. How is she supposed to prove herself on what appears to be an unwinnable case?
Losing is not an option. She must find the most persuasive argument. Trials aren’t won by convincing judges or fellow barristers – they’re all about convincing a jury.
Suddenly, Leila finds herself fighting not only to keep Jack out of prison, but also to keep her own secrets buried.
It’s true what they say – there are two sides to every story.
Guilty or not guilty?
You decide . . .

Critic Reviews
Leila, the main character is unpredictable and wild. So is the ending of the story. It's like a movie where the ending can be imagined according to our theory or based on that character impact on us. Still, it's an open ending which I am not a big fan of.
Otherwise, the story plot is quite good. My first legal thriller. The court room scenes could have been extended instead of before the trial.
Overall, a good thriller.
Legal thriller and a good listen!

This book had me hooked from the very first chapter. There wasn't a single dull moment. The writing is sharp and immersive, and the narration was outstanding,it truly brought the story to life.
This isn't your typical thriller. It's a layered legal thriller with plenty of twists, compelling courtroom drama, and complex characters. The central character,whether you see her as the protagonist or the antagonist,is brilliantly written.
Gripping!! Loved it!!

Though I was confused in the beginning since pov shift from one to other, but got accustomed to it quickly. Narrator has done good job in that department.
As to main story line, its a murder mystery and thats all one need to know. I will spoil something if I go into the depths. Its worth a read/listen.
