The Evidence Against You by Gillian McAllister
5.0
Gillian McAllister - you've done it again.
When I first read 'No Further Questions' last year, I very quickly named it my favourite read of 2018 and I got that exact same feeling with The Evidence Against You. Its going to take a lot to beat it.
Izzy's father was convicted of murdering his wife, Izzy's mother Alex, 17 years ago. He has now been released and is protesting his innocence. Izzy decides to listen to his side and see if she can work out if he's telling the truth or not by looking into evidence.
I couldn't put it down and I kept saying to myself "just one more chapter" until I was up until 2am reading! I was chasing the end to see the conclusion and what an ending it was! I felt like I needed a breather afterwards. It's so well written.
Izzy's father, Gabriel, telling his side of a situation then Izzy recalling the same moment from her point of view was done very well and I loved how it wasn't just all about her trying to find out the truth. It touches on her sadness of not having her mother around to do typical mother/daughter things and her sadness of seeing her father trying to integrate back into society after being incarcerated for almost 20 years.
I cannot recommend this book enough and if you have never read a book by this author before, do it!
