Even though I can watch TV or read articles online about real-life scandals I still enjoyed reading a fictional account! James has always been a golden boy. He was born into a privileged family. At an Oxford college he was good friends with a guy who would become the prime minister. When the story begins we are introduced to his wife, Sophie, and their kids. In part due to his friend, James is working in the government and enjoying a successful career. Everything is on the cusp of following apart because he has been accused of raping his assistant. James has to tell Sophie before the news becomes public. In shock Sophie nevertheless is certain that her husband is innocent and is determined to stand by her man. Of course that isn't easy. It is even harder when she finds out that he had been having an affair with the woman!
The lawyer who is prosecuting the case is named Kate. Her life has revolved around her job and she is going to do her best to put James away because she believes he is guilty. Throughout the story of the trial are flashbacks to the lives of James, Sophie and Kate which explains a lot. A good read!
