Can I start here?
Best read after Hawthorne & Horowitz 6; the central plot is approachable on its own, but continuing relationships and consequences carry forward.
What makes it different
A courtroom gives Hawthorne a fresh closed circle, and the prospect of the narrator serving on the jury makes this forthcoming case irresistible to speculate about—without pretending we know its solution.
Setting
A murder trial and its courtroom; further locations have not yet been confirmed.
