The Interpreter by Brooke Robinson.
Thank you Netgalley for the ARC ebook for an unbiased review.
Revelle is an interpreter at court, who is also juggling fostering Elliot, who she wants to adopt.
During a particular trial, Revelle realises someone could go free, but all she has to do is change just a few words to change a possible verdict.
This book is a thriller, and while I guessed a lot ahead of reveals, it did that aspect well. Although it felt a little far fetched on a couple of occasions, overall it was compelling and although I don't consider it to be exceptionally good, was solid in the execution.
The biggest problem was I felt no sympathy towards Revelle and many of her actions. Because I felt no sympathy, it was at times hard to stay connected to the plot.
This one has me vying between 3 to 4 stars. I decided on 3, because I couldn't like it quite enough to give it 4 stars.
It's an okay thriller. Not necessarily something I would read again, but if you're looking for one that is a fairly quick read, with a good overall plotline then this is one to consider.
3/5 stars 🌟
