A gripping thriller with a message...

3 stars

I would describe 'Apple tree yard' as a gripping thriller with a message. The message is more or less: in rape cases, the justice system has the habit of putting the wrong person on the stand. Which isn't a bad message to put out there, and may reach some new audiences in this format. This doesn't make it a masterpiece, but as a book it does what is supposed to do.
