I listened to the audiobook of the novel and I really enjoyed it - it was not your typical story. Noa P. Singleton has been tried and found guilty of the murder of another young woman. During her trial she never tried to help her lawyer to defend her, nor did she take the stand in her own defense. Found guilty, she has spent ten years waiting to be executed. Noa still does nothing to help herself. Then suddenly there appears someone who is interested in stopping Noa's life from being taken. That isn't very unusual, it happens all the time in death cases. As it turns out the lawyer, Marlene Dixon, is the mother of Noa's victim. All of a sudden she doesn't want the death penalty to be carried out. She is a well-known lawyer and she plans to do anything necessary to get the Governor to commute the sentence. In return she wants the story of why her daughter died. What led up to this senseless killing? Noa hasn't told anyone the story. Does Marlene deserve to find out the truth? An intriguing story that had me guessing until the end what was going to happen.
