I look up to find twelve strangers staring back at me… and I realize I'm the one they're waiting for.
Lila Dalton has no memory of how she came to be in this courtroom; no memory of how she got to the courthouse at all, or why she's facing a jury who seems to be waiting for her. The man on trial is accused of mass murder, and she's his lawyer, but she can't remember any details of the case. She can't remember anything… Stranded on an island in the Atlantic Ocean where the most serious crimes are tried, Lila has to prove her client's innocence if she wants to go home. But how can she solve this case when she's not sure she can trust anything around her, including her own memory?
The Trials of Lila Dalton is a twisty, unexpected locked-room mystery that follows one woman's race against time to find a killer, clear her own name, and escape the island that threatens to keep her trapped forever.

Trial Of Lila Dalton by L. J Shephard
This book was so interesting! It's a courtroom drama with a twist! Lila can't remember what happened to her but she comes to at the court house and her silk... is in a coma and she's been thrown in. She can't remember a lick of anything... and someone wants her to win or she will lose in a big way!
Oohh gave me chills! Lila is great because she can't remember anything and she gets pieces of memories as she goes. Someone wants her to win her case but something sinister is going on.
The pace is a bit slow for me but the story was interesting enough that I could overlook that! There are some plot holes but again, I can move past that.
The ending wasn't brilliant but I did enjoy the book on the whole.
