The most dangerous person in the courtroom isn't the killer. . .

Revelle is a court interpreter and knows the power of words. She spends her days translating for other people; murderers, fraudsters and their victims. She speaks their words. Only she knows exactly what they're saying.

When she spots an injustice is about to take place, and a guilty man about to be labelled innocent, she has the power to twist an alibi to get the verdict she wants. The verdict she believes is correct. She's willing to risk it all.

But someone knows what she's done.

And they want justice.

Critic reviews

I raced through it. Brilliant writing, properly tense and a fascinating perspective on criminal trials with an interpreter protagonist
An ingenious premise, cleverly executed, THE INTERPRETER is multi-layered and intriguing, gripping from beginning to end
CLEVER, ATMOSPHERIC AND UTTERLY ABSORBING - I LOVED IT
In this stellar debut thriller... Robinson is marvelous at mining the moral murk of Revelle's choices, and chapters from the perspective of her stalker ratchet up the suspense. Minnette Walters fans will be delighted
Compelling and ingenious, this thriller explores the lengths people go to to protect others
Fresh, exciting and original
Brutally honest about the trauma of adoption, and yet still written with affection about a woman who is desperate for justice, it is no surprise that it has already been bought by Hollywood
Brilliantly crafted and deliciously dark, The Interpreter forces us to question how far is too far when it comes to serving justice and protecting our loved ones, and whether the best of intentions can excuse cataclysmic outcomes. A propulsive and heartfelt page-turner
Robinson delivers an intricate debut thriller that plays with the tangled relationship between language, truth and justice in ways that will surprise even veteran crime readers
All stars
Most relevant
I’m afraid that I would not recommend this book. Whilst the insight into the role of an interpreter is interesting, the story lines are too far fetched and the characters two dimensional.
