Senior Contributing Editor

Liberty Hardy is an unrepentant velocireader, writer, bitey mad lady, and tattoo canvas. Turn-ons include books, books and books. Her favorite exclamation is “Holy cats!” Liberty reads more than should be legal, sleeps very little, frequently writes on her belly with Sharpie markers, and when she dies, she’s leaving her body to library science. Until then, she lives with her three cats, Millay, Farrokh, and Zevon, in Maine. She is also right behind you. Just kidding! She’s too busy reading. Twitter: @MissLiberty

I don’t know about you, but I hate when I’m reading a mystery and I figure it out halfway into the book. That’s why The Verdict is so great! It kept me guessing and had me racing to the end to learn the truth. Law clerk Terry Flynt has waited his whole life for the opportunity to see his best friend-turned-enemy, Vernon James, go down in flames. And it looks like Vernon is about to fall hard, having been accused of murder. All evidence points to his guilt. But the more Terry looks into the case, the more he believes Vernon didn’t do it. So what does he want more – revenge or justice?
