Critics Review
Grant excels himself … He is a master at conveying the cut-and-thrust of cross-examination, managing to maintain a sense of speed while making sure the reader does not miss the cultural or legal context. His style is drily witty, but just when you start to think he is a bit too detached from what are, after all, matters of life and death, he soars into a rhetorical flight … Very moving - Sunday Telegraph

But like this deceptively thrilling book, it also stands for something very serious - Sunday TimesPraise for Jeremy Hutchinson’s Case Histories - -Not just a celebration of a brilliant legal career but also a history of changing mores in Britain - Daily TelegraphA brilliant and absorbing book about the life of a barrister. And what a life - Evening StandardAt first glance, you might wonder how interesting a book about a lawyer can be. But once you open the pages of this one, you’ll be instantly hooked … Totally terrific - Daily MailAbout The Author
