Key to Purgatory by Susan HorsnellMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
📖Book Info
When a young man is found dead on the banks of Wiseman’s Ferry, his best friend, Noah Mason, becomes the prime suspect. The evidence is damning—rope fibres, a heated argument, and a witness who swears he heard Noah’s voice in the dark.
But inside the courtroom, the Crown’s tower of circumstantial evidence begins to crumble. Forensic experts question the certainty of ‘consistencies,’ witnesses falter under the weight of their own memories, and a fugitive emerges from the shadows with testimony too raw to ignore.
As the defence exposes flaws in the investigation, the question becomes not just who killed Ethan Davies, but how far fear, bias, and silence can twist the truth.
For fans of tense, layered courtroom dramas, Key to Purgatory is a gripping exploration of justice under fire—where every shadow hides doubt, and one man’s life hangs in the balance.

💭Our Thoughts
"Anger. Fear. Desperation."
WOW, what an emotional roller-coaster
I admit I even looked up if that was how pretrial and trial suspects awaited hearings. I was that upset 😡
"It should, but I can tell you after years of trials, innocence doesn't often win, and truth almost never."
Margert was good. Her experience taught her the best way to counteract the peacocking by the prosecution was with cold, hard facts.
Tangible words that would give reasonable doubt
Thank goodness for Daniel's tenacity. He knew there was a thread that would unravel the prosecution's allegations. Their loosely built house of conjectures.
"In Grantham, violence was survival. In court, violence was damnation."
Noah was not just fighting for his freedom, but the false accusations also had him fighting for his life. Many times it looked as though he would lose both.
"I can't forgive your betrayal. Not now. Maybe not ever."
I stand with Noah. I know I never could.
From the opening scene to the final verdict, I watched, enraptured as Noah's life was turned upside down. As the people he once called friends and family quickly became strangers.
As strangers, people who had no reason, took up for him. Gave him hope
This one will keep you up well past lights out
