What to expect
From the bestselling author of Dead Certain and The Perfect Marriage comes a smart and twisty legal thriller about love, life, and truth that careens to a shocking conclusion you won’t soon forget …
Matthew Brooks and Vanessa Lyons are a perfect love match, both attorneys at a powerful New York City law firm. But there’s a hitch: Matt just made partner, and Vanessa is coming up for partner next year. And Vanessa’s husband has his suspicions.
Vanessa is assigned to the biggest case at the firm, the one that will determine her future. Unfortunately, Matt has been working the case for years, leaving him no choice but to supervise his lover in violation of firm policy. When Vanessa is denied her partnership, despite assurances to the contrary, she can only assume that her affair with Matt was the reason.
Then, on a crowded Manhattan street corner, a knife flashes in the midday sun, leaving behind a scene of horror. But with so many having been betrayed, and no one telling the truth, will the murderer be brought to justice? Even after hearing the gripping courtroom testimony, readers will be unsure who is the betrayed and who is the betrayer, right up until the culminating jaw-dropping reveal.
Critics Review
-
“The twists keep coming in this smart, sly, and subtle legal thriller. Love Betrayal Murder starts as a slow burn but quickly builds into an unputdownable page turner.”
Alafair Burke, New York Times bestselling author of Find Me
-
“Adam Mitzner has done it again, given us another amazing legal thriller that immediately hooks you in and keeps you turning the pages late into the night. Filled with thrilling courtroom scenes, fascinating insights into the gender politics of big law firms, and shocking twists, Love Betrayal Murder is a blistering read you won’t be able to put down.”
Angie Kim, international bestseller and Edgar Award–winning author of Miracle Creek
-
“A practicing attorney himself, Mitzner brings authenticity to the story, and understandably, readers may be left with an uneasy sense of distrust for our legal system. ‘Reality is less important than what we can prove,’ J. R. advises his client, adding that things sound very different out of context, and ‘belief is not the truth.’”

“Even if you think you know where the story is heading, Mitzner might have something else up his sleeve. Love Betrayal Murder is his finest work yet—his own The Firm, if you will. I am confident that those who dive into this one will agree with me.”
