I was SO excited to get this advanced copy! I have read Rob Rinder’s other two books and was hooked for both and this one did not disappoint! I could not put it down and was guessing right up until the end! I cannot wait to see what else is in store for this character!

A " treasure" artist dies after blue paint is sprayed at him and Adam Green investigates the matter to better help him Morris Brown to represent the accused. Once again this is a charming book by Rob Rinder. A fascinating insight into the life of a barrister. Not too filled with jargon you have to keep checking the meaning of. You very much sympathise with Adam in his struggles as a newly qualified barrister. I enjoyed this book immensely and would recommend it to peoole who enjoy this style if book. This was an unedited advanced copy with thanks to the author, Random House and Netgalley.

Another very entertaining courtroom drama from the pen of Rob Rinder featuring the barrister Adam Green. It's a two for one offer as Adam gets to work on two major cases. One is a the court martial of a young soldier and the other a protester spraying a 'national treasure' Max Bruce with blue paint which leads to his death. Adam is a very lucky chap as he works with two very different young women, Georgina Devereaux a fellow barrister, super clever, attractive, articulate and competitive and Stacey Jackson a pupil at Stag Court, wannabe barrister, feisty, fun and outspoken. They both have traits which Adam finds alluring but not enough to take one of them home to meet his Mum, yet!
Adam puts his deerstalker hat on to sleuth his way around these two court cases in the hope of uncovering something which may support his argument. Sadly, it's not him that pulls the rabbit out of the hat although he gets to proffer the new evidence for his senior colleague to present to the court.
I judge the novel purely on its entertainment value as I get the feeling there may be a sequel which hopefully will dot the 'i's and cross the 't's.

The third outing for lawyer Adam Green is another corking read. He barely has a chance to breathe with the cases he has to deal with but always has time to talk with his mother.

Having read another of Rob Rinder's books, I had high hopes for this book. A calm, easy read centred around the busy, chaotic life of Adam Green working at Stag Court, just as before. I feel this book really showcases just how hectic the life of a barrister can be. I found it interesting that there were multiple cases concurrently, and also found myself getting a little confused at times with all the back and forth between them. However, that wasn't an issue with the way it was written at all, it was just the busy life of a barrister! It's almost been left on a bit of a cliffhanger, so I'm intrigued to see what comes next.

Excellent legal drama that gives real insight into the workings of the high courts. Adam Green is snowed under but he is gradually making a name for himself until the blue face case of the murdered artist of Primal Scream. There’s some great twists and unexpected outcomes, kept me gripped.

I am really enjoying this series from Rob Rinder, and it was great to catch up with Adam again.

This time he is working on two very different cases, one far more glamorous than the other.

I love seeing this side of crime, as we see how Adam helps prepare the cases for court, plus also tries to be supportive to others at his chambers.

I am also still a massive fan of the phone calls Adam gets from his mother, which are typically light relief and entertaining, while also feeling fairly familiar to me personally.

It's another really interesting book, and I'll be keen to read more in the series in the future.

Thank you to Penguin and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.

The Suspect by Rob Rinder
I know that this is the third in the series about Adam Green but I haven’t read the others and this works well as a standalone. The book opens with a description of the glitterati of London arriving at the Royal Academy for the unveiling of Primal Scream by Max Bruce. It was his masterpiece and had been bought by a Russian investor and so its return to London for a retrospective is a wonderful triumph for the curator.
The unveiling of the portrait is disturbed by a dramatic protest by the Blue Face group who are against the war in Khandistan. Max Bruce is sprayed with blue paint but then it seems the canister of paint contained more than just paint as Max Bruce dies painfully in front of the assembled, horrified crowd.
At Stag Court Morris returns and is given the case of defending Lexi Williams, the protestor who covered Max Bruce in blue paint. Adam Green is to be his second and they have to find some way to save their client even though there is film of her actually spaying the paint all over him.
Additionally Adam has to work on other cases, one in a military court and so his life is fraught. Adam is an interesting character and the life in the court appears to be very well evoked as is expected from a writer with Rinder’s background. It is a good read but the ending leaves one hoping for a Book 4 in the series. Thanks to Net Galley, Random House UK and to the author for the opportunity to read an early copy in return for an honest review.

I am a judge Rob Rinder fan and was so excited when I got approved for this book. This is a fantastic book, Adam Green is a great character who you fall in love with instantly. They twists and turns keep you on your toes. Such an enjoyable read.

I live the fact that Rob Rinder gives the reader a real insight into the legal system but in a highly entertaining way. The series of books are highly entertaining. We follow the life of Adam Green as he progresses through is legal career, going above and beyond to help his clients and try to get to the truth.

I was delighted to receive a kindle copy of this book from Netgalley. I am quickly becoming a fan of Rob Rinder with his entertaining characters and writing style. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and look forward to his next.

Max, a world-famous artist, is unveiling one of his paintings, Primal Scream, in front of a star-studded crowd. What happens next is shocking. A protester runs up to Max and sprays his face with blue paint. Within a few minutes, Max is dead.
Adam Green is working with Morris on the defence. It's not as cut and dried as it appears.
Adam is also working on another case involving a soldier accused of causing the death of a ten year old in Khandistan.
I love the court scenes. I'm literally there sitting on the bench listening to the toing amd froing. You never know who to believe.
Poor Adam, never has time for a social life. More work seems to pile up, courtesy of Tony.
Georgina and Jonathan are still at Stag Court. He is still up to his shinnanigans.
There is definitely more to come from the protesters case.
This is the third in the Adam Green series, and I look forward to reading more.
Please can Adam have a little bit of fun in the next one?
Thanks to Random House for the invitation to read this in return for an honest review.

Rob Rinder is like the Richard Osman of the legal world and I just can't get enough of his books. The Protest is the third of the Adam Green series, and this time around Adam is facing two high-profile cases. One takes him into the world of military justice and the other is seemingly an open-and-shut murder case. Lexi is a protestor who sprays blue paint in the face of art legend Sir Max Bruce, But the spray can has been laced with cyanide and the artist drops dead in front of his fans. Lexi protests her innocence, but does she have a case when multiple witnesses saw her use the murder weapon?

I enjoyed The Protest just as much as the previous two books, especially Adam's interactions with his colleagues and his loving mum. A great series I would recommend to anyone!

‘The protest’ by Rob Rinder was enjoyable and an easy read, with brilliant characters and engrossing.

Adam Green once again is overwhelmed and overworked and trying to balance court and his personal life. The setting of the book was apt for the modern-day political climate, and I thought the two cases were will written. But, I didn’t find it as enjoyable as the first two books, and maybe I will be in the minority in finding the ending a bit disappointing. However, I will definitely read the next novels (if there are any) to see how Adam, Georgina, Jonathan, Tony, Bobby and co. are all up to.

Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for ARC.

Adam Green, our kind but unlikely hero is back in Chambers, tasked with working on two very high profile cases. Despite trying his best (and supported by the advice of his over-helpful mother) he continues to rub people up the wrong way as he seeks the information needed for his client.
The characterisation is superb - you meet people that you know you would be happy to go to the pub with as well as those you would hide under the desk to avoid. Adam, in particular, is well-drawn and his humanity and desire to get things right shines through each of the novels. As you would expect, the legal detail is there but doesn't overwhelm the story. A great read.

Adam is a rising star in Chambers working for the likes of Morris Brown, Nisha and putting up with the antics of the flamboyant Jonathan Taylor-Campbell.

Lexie is an intern who gets a job at a local art gallery who have secured the massive coup of having a showing of paintings by the eminent artist Max . His best known work Primal Scream is being loaned to the gallery and will undoubtedly be the star piece in the show.

Max leads a complicated life with two wives and numerous children all of whom are wasters. The best known if these is Loughton, an influencer, blogger, drug taker and hot sauce maker.

When Lexie throws blue paint over Max at the opening of the event on behalf of an environmental cause, chaos ensues when Max dies in the full glare of the media. It turns out that the paint was laced with cyanide. It seems like a water-tight case against Lexie but Adam becomes embroiled in a race against time to uncover whether she is the real perpetrator. Another Rinder winner.

I received a copy of this novel from the publisher via NetGalley.

I enjoyed the first in this series and haven't read the second. Here Adam assists on a high profile murder case where the murder was committed as an act of protest against the war in 'Khandistan', and at a military court martial relating to the same war. The two cases are not linked, and Adam's juggling of them contributes to his always being overworked and struggling to keep on top of things.

I found the murder defendant Lexi both unlikeable and difficult to understand, and the resolution to that case disappointing The defence seemed to make very little effort to get to the bottom of what actually happened, to the extent of not even pressing Lexi for an explanation, and this frustrated me. I felt the other case was a bit of an add-on/distraction and was treated rather superficially. Finally, I struggle to see how Adam can have lived in London in the circles he moves in for so long and remain so naive and socially diffident.

Disappointing.

An excellent book. This is the second book by Rob Rinder that I have read and once again it’s well written with an absorbing storyline. The storyline brings alive the complexity of the British legal/justice system but all those intricately involved in bringing cases to court. Although this book is part of a series it could easily be read without having read the previous two in the series. I throughly recommend.

Highly acclaimed artist Max Bruce is murdered at a prestigious exhibition of his paintings. Lexi, a protester against war is charged with the crime, with Matt Green assigned as defence lawyer, which seems a daunting task.
Having read Rob Rinder’s previous two books, I was delighted to see Matt return in this story, and felt his character had much more to offer. With Rob Rinder’s legal background, we gain insight into the legal system, its heritage and culture. He writes about the historic buildings, courts and art galleries, with such expertise and skill you feel you are there.
Matt is now a newly qualified barrister and working excessively hard on several complex cases, with his mother doing her best to make sure he is eating enough food and getting enough rest, adding humour to the story. Other characters are skilfully depicted, the flamboyant, pompous characters, lively young trainee lawyers, all add interest and intrigue to the plot.
I’m a great Rob Rinder fan, and couldn’t put this book down, waiting eagerly for the next Matt Green story.

The third in the series and the characters are really growing on me, even Jonathan shows his vulnerability, he's definitely a character you love to hate.
I love how Adam is always underestimated by his peers but seems to come up with the answers. His regular phone calls with his mum never fail to make me smile.
Despite being involved in a very high profile case of a very famous artist murdered in plain sight, Adam still has many cases to undertake, there's no let up for him. It's a great series.
