Wow - this was so good! Honestly could not put it down!
Restorative justice has become the major type of criminal reform, with cells being installed in victims' houses and victims being responsible for the prisoner's care. Hannah becomes the caretaker of Jem, the man who murdered her husband six months earlier. But Jem is insistent that he's innocent - and when Hannah begins to doubt the evidence presented to her, she realises that John's death was not as straight-forward as she thought...
The restorative justice conversation that happens in this book was so interesting, and definitely deserves a mention outside of the story. The story itself was so good too - it was pacey and kept moving forward, with plenty of twists and turns thrown in. I couldn't figure out who was responsible for John's murder until it was revealed, so I consider that to be a well-written plot. This was just so good, I can't say enough good things about it. Highly recommend!
