But after Elliot is sentenced to two life terms of imprisonment for two counts of murder, the most unexpected thing happens, giving Sakib his last hope to save his career. Because of this unexpected turn of events, Sakib is determined to request an appeal based from the most bizarre legal view ever propounded by any law educated professional.


Review

The Sentence is a court drama and mystery thriller by Jack Burbank. It revolves around David Elliot, the convicted murderer, Sakib Patel, his defense attorney, and Tommy, the sole prosecution witness against Elliot. I have always loved court dramas or any lawsuit stories and this one has become one of my favorites! I love everything about this novel – the characters, setting, dialogues, narrative. This book was a page turner! I was initially going to mention what unexpected turn of events happened, but I changed my mind, I’m not giving any spoilers; I would love for readers to be as surprised as I was.


The only thing I didn’t like was this book’s poor editing because I found minor errors and lots of instances when Elliot was misspelled as Elliott. Also, I think the letter at the end of the story was addressed to the wrong person. However, none of these ruined my reading experience, so I am still giving the author the rating he so deserves for writing such a great story.


I am giving this book 5 out of 5 stars. I love, love, love this book! It has the most imaginative and unpredictable storyline, amazing plot twist, very interesting characters, and entertaining dialogues. I highly recommend this to ALL readers. Regardless of what genre you prefer, this is a MUST-READ!
