Search - Pleading Guilty (Kindle County, Bk 3)

weird book, odd ending

Pleading Guilty by Scott Turow is easier to read than Filth by Irvine Welsh, but the self-destructive protagonist still got on my nerves. I enjoyed the book more when I started skipping paragraphs of internal dialog to get back to the action. Mack is an ex-cop, washed-up lawyer, and recovering alcoholic. When a partner at his firm goes AWAL (with 5.6 million dollars) the managing committee shanghais Mack into looking for him. Or rather, the 5.6 million, because it turns out that very few people at the firm care much about the missing partner.

Literary Quality: 6/10

Enjoyment: 6/10

I read a couple of Scott Turow books years ago and when I came across this 1993 thriller I thought I would give it a look, and I was not disappointed. Though it may seem ominous (470 pgs) it moves fast.

There are twists and turns that lead you in different directions throughout the story...which you will love!

Good guy, bad guy/who done it/mystery thriller.

Enjoyable. I recommend it.

This was a very disappointing and boring book. I usually like what Scott Turow writes but this was a drag, depressing and plots changed too often. Hard to figure out what was going on and I wasn't sure I wanted to figure it out! Can not recommend.

I think he's one of the more underrated authors in the mystery genre. He tells a complex story that is sometimes hard to follow, and this is another financial-type mystery. Loved the ending.
