"[A]long the lines of Big Little Lies ... Secrets are rife in Riversedge, and the characters clearly know more than they are letting on. But Impellizzeri does a good job of teasing out pieces of the puzzle without readers feeling like they have been cheated ... A former corporate lawyer, she writes crackling courtroom drama ... Grabs the reader from the get-go, a compelling invitation to join the club." Kirkus Reviews
"Impellizzeri delivers in In Her Defense, intricately weaving a psychological suspense and a gripping legal thriller into one bang of a book. A twisty, winding road of deceit, betrayal, and the extent to which someone will go to conceal the truth. I gobbled it up." Kimberly Belle, internationally bestselling author of Dear Wife & Stranger in the Lake
"[A] brilliantly crafted and fascinatingly insightful morality tale - an unlikely alliance of two strong women each with a powerful secret that could destroy the other." Hank Phillippi Ryan, USA Today Bestselling author, Mary Higgins Clark and five-time Agatha Award Winner
"[A]n on the-edge-of-your-seat, can't-put-down-read! In between all the legal maneuverings, Impellizzeri's characters are flawed and poignant, their relationships are multi-layered, and the end is truly both tender and surprising." Kate Moretti, New York Times bestselling author of The Vanishing Year
"IN HER DEFENSE is an intricately plotted, compelling legal drama with heart-and a twist ending that you won't see coming!" Kathleen Barber, author of Truth Be Told (formerly published as Are You Sleeping and now an Apple TV+ series)
