AlbakiReads Editorial A murder trial shaped by buried history
A murder trial shaped by buried history
Julia Winter enters the courtroom carrying the fallout of an affair that has already cost her both work and marriage. When a former housemate is found buried near the home Julia occupied more than two decades earlier, her past becomes central to a murder case. The novel frames its suspense through the trial itself, where testimony and evidence expose concealed histories beyond Julia’s own. With the question of guilt left at the heart of the premise, The Verdict links domestic betrayal, long-standing relationships, and criminal accusation in a courtroom-centred crime thriller.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Readers who enjoy crime thrillers structured around a trial

A cheating wife. An estranged mother. But is she guilty of murder?
Please raise your right hand.
An affair at work has cost Julia Winter her job and her marriage. There's no denying she has let her family down.
Please remain standing.
When a body is discovered on the North Downs, it hits local headlines. But for Julia, the news is doubly shocking because the body was buried just opposite the house she lived in over twenty years ago. And it is one of her former housemates.
Please resume your seat.
Up on the stand, Julia's not the only person to have secrets that are unearthed during the trial. But the evidence against her is overwhelming.
And yet one question remains: is she the murderer, or the victim?
Jurors, you may be excused.
Readers, what is your verdict?A gripping thriller perfect for fans of Rachel Abbott, Claire McGowan and Lucinda Berry
