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.
Helpful Score: 2
One of the best legal thrillers I've read. Turow has written a gripping novel about the law - and also made the characters very believable.
Helpful Score: 2
This is still the best mysteries I've ever read. Turow uses a scalpel where Grisham uses a chainsaw.

I have been reading courtroom thrillers for more than 35 years and this one is among the best. Scott Turow is a lawyer and talented writer and in his first work of fiction, "Presumed Innocent", he has set the bar very high. Plan to not put this down until you finish it and then read it again to make sure you fully absorb the nuances, character development, and foreshadowing.

This is one of my all-time favorite novels. I've read it several times.
