I can't believe that I'm the first to review a book that is this good and that was published so long ago (in 1984). I found that Ms. Gill's writing style reminded somewhat of Ruth Rendell or even P.D. James. Yes, she is that good! This is a book about a jury on a high-profile murder trial, and it gives a wonderful description of how the different personalities of "12 men and women and true" play out when they are placed together to decide the fate of a man, and to decide whether or not he killed his wife. That would be enough to make the book memorable, but the surprise ending will totally astonish you. Ms. Gill's psychological profiling of the twelve jurors, the accused and the murderer is quite astounding. Great Book!
