A slim novel that manages to pack a lot into its few pages. A woman is chosen to be part of jury that ends up sequestered due to the high profile of the case. The trial isn‘t the only drama unfolding. She is leaving her much older husband alone for the duration of the trial and ends up having an affair with one of the other jurors. A lot of ground is covered and while no easy resolutions are offered every aspect is given its due. Really well done
