“Chilling and complex. The truth in this story is a cracked mirror, changing at every angle. Giolito masterfully plumbs the nature of guilt or innocence until no character, nor even the reader, is left unscathed.”
—Joanna Schaffhausen, author of The Vanishing Season
“Another breathtaking novel from Malin Persson Giolito! Beyond All Reasonable Doubt masterfully questions the role media and public opinion play in court. A deeply moving suspense novel that zeroes in on humanity’s deepest flaws.”
