I enjoyed this book. There are several reviews complaining that it is too short, not enough detail, too easily wrapped up. Sometimes I want to read a book that is not 400 pages, that still gives you plenty to consider while reading and after you are finished; and is written in eloquent prose. This book fit the bill quite nicely.

A quick and easy read. Turow writes an engrossing story. This one is short but enjoyable.

not my favorite Turow, but a timely topic and a worthwhile read.

Nobody can do legal thrillers like Scott Turow, and he doesn't disappoint in this story of an appellate judge receiving death threats as he considers a politically and emotionally charged case.

Life would seem to have gone well for George Mason. His days as a criminal defense lawyer are long behind him. At fifty-nine, he has sat as a judge on the Court of Appeals in Kindle County for nearly a decade. Yet, when a disturbing rape case is brought before him, the judge begins to question the very nature of the law and his role within it. What is troubling George Mason so deeply? Is it his wife's recent diagnosis? Or the strange and threatenting e-mails he has started to receive? And what is it about this horrific case of sexual assault, now on trial in his courtroom, that has led him to question his fitness to judge?

3.5 stars I've read all of Turow's books and for me this was the weakest--almost like he was saying goodbye. I did enjoy it and loved having some of his old characters show up. It was an interesting premise. An appellate court has to decide if a decision on an old case should be affirmed or if the statute of limitations had run out. The decision making was fascinating. Anyone who has read and enjoyed Turow's books in the past should enjoy this one.
