It came up when readers asked:
- “Are there any underrated legal thrillers that don't get talked about much? Looking for something a bit different to the usual big names.”
- “I need a book for my dad's birthday. He's 62, loves courtroom dramas and old Rumpole on telly, so what legal thriller would he like?”
- “Can you recommend legal thrillers set around criminal defence barristers where the case turns on a twist in the evidence? Not too American please.”
- “What are the best legal thrillers by British authors? I'd like something set in English courts rather than American ones.”
