Perfect Match by Jodi Picoult

This is the first of 3 Jodi Picoult books I am going to review. Although I had heard of her work, I had never read any of them so I allowed myself a pick of 3 to give myself a broad view of her style.


Perfect Match follows the story of an assistant district attorney, Nina Frost who prosecutes the sot of crimes that tear families apart on a daily basis. This is all well until Nina discovers her own child, only 5 years of age, has been sexually abused.


Suddenly her life, career and home life are thrown into disarray, suspicion and devastation as she tries to hold her broken family together and find justice for Nathaniel her son.


Despite her professional training Nina's taste for vengeance is gripping and she is about to embark on a journey that most parents would argue was legally wrong but morally right.


It is a thought-provoking read, which is constantly moving and developing into different angles and when you think everything is starting to come together another development happens to throw the case into chaos again.


Being the first of Picoult's books that I had read I was keen to pick up the next.


7/1 0
