Search - Presumed Innocent (Kindle County, Bk 1)

It seemed at first I had read this book but, if I did, I only remembered parts of it. It is a LONG book and written in the first person. Scott Turow is a great story-teller but the story is dark and sad. You don't know who perpetrated the crime until the very end and although it is a surprise, it really isn't.

PRESUMED INNOCENT brings to life our worst nightmare, that of an ordinary citizen facing conviction for the most terrible of all crimes. It's the stunning portrayal of one man's all-too-human, all-consuming fatal attraction for a passionate woman who is not his wife. and the story of how his obsession puts everything he loves and values on trail--including his own life. It's a book that lays bare a shocking world of betrayal and murder, as well as the hidden depths of the human heart. It will hold you and haunt you..longs after you have reached it's shattering conclusion.

This is still the best mysteries I've ever read. Turow uses a scalpel where Grisham uses a chainsaw.

really good

Greatly recommended. Also based on the movie.

Very good legal thriller; difficult to put down.
