Hank Phillippi Ryan Trust Me
Trust Me is that kind of book. The only problem is, it’s not a very good book. Written in a tabloid-style with clunky sentences, this legal thriller initially pushes some interesting buttons but gets lamer and lamer as it goes along as characters invent so many stories about how a little toddler was killed that the reader may just throw up their hands and cry, Or otherwise just throw the book across the room.
The book’s protagonist is journalist Mercer Hennessy, a Boston native who has gone pretty much reclusive after her husband and young daughter were killed in a car accident the year prior. Holed up in her own home, Mercer gets an assignment: write a true-crime book about Ashlyn Bryant, a young woman who is about to go on trial for killing her two-year-old daughter.
Trust Me is strictly a dime-store potboiler with every little subtext and whose existence is cribbed from the real-life Casey Anthony trial liberally. What really works against Trust Me is that it is a snoozapolooza. During the first third of the book, the main character is housebound and is covering the trial by watching a feed on her television.
Trust Me is a novel that is all about padding. If you took away the middle third of the book, which drags on and on, you’d have a book that would probably still work. The author is out to outsmart us and pull the wool over our eyes with all of her red herrings.
