We The Jury by Robert Rotstein







We, the Jury by Robert Rotstein



A not so straight forward killing - in this case the accused was a husband who axed his wife to death on the grounds that he was emotionally and physically abused, his children were abused by his wife and this was the result.

Told from the point of view of each juror and the Judge presiding, also from other court officials, each one gave a different scenario of the day to day happenings. Each one was different and quirky! even the Judge. It also showed how easy extraneous circumstances can affect us all and that no decision made by a jury is ever going to be based only the facts presented!

A very interesting piece of American justice system in play and one I enjoyed reading very much. Since all the jurors were naturally all very different individuals the story became more and more interesting as the trial unravel led.

Characterization and plot were spot on.

  2. Sounds good. I'm assuming this is fiction, but you never know what's going on behind closed doors.

  4. I don't think I have read a book with multiple narrative voices. It'd be interesting to read especially in a legal thriller.
