ONE OF YOUR NUMBER
“One of Your Number is a taut, claustrophobic thriller that grabs you from the first page and refuses to let go. The premise alone is irresistible.”
– NetGalley Reviewer
Synopsis
Leonie is one of twelve jurors.
Chosen to decide the fate of a nurse accused of murdering his patients with lethal doses of adrenaline. But just as deliberations begin, an usher bursts in with news that will change everything. Britain is under chemical attack, and the courthouse is locked down.
Instructed not to leave for their own safety, the jurors quickly realise that the real threat lies inside the building. The accused has escaped his cell and is on the loose. He's playing twisted games with the group.
And Leonie is his next target.
Because he knows something about her. A secret she's kept hidden from the others - about just how far she'll go to tip the scales of justice in her favour.
Praise for One of Your Number
“One of the most exciting new voices in crime fiction.”
– Kia Abdullah, author of Take It Back
“Now and again a writer with a real feel for language and a genuine grasp of what makes a good psychological plot comes along. Enter L. J. Shepherd.”
- Daily Mail
"Original, gripping and suspenseful"
– NetGalley Reviewer
“So tense, [so] eerie, such a well crafted plot with characters who were so vividly brought to life and formed into fully functioning people. It really was a masterpiece and I spent 2 days flying through it. It has amazing twists and turns and even though I wasn't locked in a courthouse whilst reading this.... I was terrified. In my own house. I was also devastated which I really didn't expect from a thriller. Easily one of the best books I'll read this year”
- NetGalley Reviewer
“The pacing is sharp, the twists well‑timed, and the moral ambiguity gives the story real bite. No one feels entirely safe, and no one is quite who they seem.”
