The plot was an interesting one and I don't think I've read a book with a plot like this one. The point of view is that of four of the 12 jury members on a murder trial. As they sit in the court room during the trial, each is faced with things about themselves that they haven't faced up to. At times the plot seems unbelievable....like what jury selection commit would not catch that one of the jury members knew the murdered victim? Also, things really tied up pretty neatly for people over just one weekend. I gave it three stars because I enjoyed the story, but only three because it was pretty implausible in places.
