PRESUMED INNOCENT

Presumed Innocent is a fast-paced book. Set in the USA, in a big bad American city. I am spellbound by the author’s command over the language as he describes a lurid courtroom story. A simple who-dunnit type murder rendered in a poetic manner. Scott Turow is the unparalleled master of mystery, twists and turns.The best part about this book is that despite knowing the story after one or two readings I could re-read it many times over. I still read it now once in a while even after so many years.I marvel at the meticulous manner Turow has built up the plot, leading the reader from one climax to the next till the final climax in the search for the murderer. The actual deed of murder is just an excuse in this story which details the grime of an American life-style, warts and all.I can only wonder how the writer details the minutest nuance in a free-flow story, seemingly wandering away in tangents. Yet every line of the book is relevant to the central theme.The lingo of a closed group of lawyers, criminals and cops has been effortlessly incorporated in this murder story. All the slangs and private terms they use in their everyday conversation make the story eminently believable.How a fast society takes short-cuts with rules, laws and even integrity. Bending one’s normal lawful behavior to beat the nearest competitor. It is the story of a razor-sharp lady cutting through the maze of her life to grasp her goal.How a law abiding citizen behaves in such an environment.I love to read about these people. Vicariously enjoy leading their fast-paced lives. I imagine how I would behave if put in such situations.In my heart I know that I am now used to the dull, monotonous, predictable life here in this small suburb of Mumbai. Nothing is going to surprise me. I will go to sleep latest by 10:30 for a sound seven hours uninterrupted sleep.

This is one of the best of the best court room trial novel. A must read for all classic thriller lovers.

This book had me on my heels the whole time wondering who committed this crime! The writing was descriptive and full of feelings. I really enjoyed this book. The book does not match the show there are many differences and you can tell this was written most likely in the 90’s whereas the show takes place presently so a lot of differences. I definitely recommend if you enjoy a good murder mystery.

A fantastic ending that I did not see coming, made me an instant fan of the author , did not hesitate to order several more kindle county titles. To date this is one of my top legal thrillers.

This was recommended to me as the best crime/thriller book ever - compared with Baldacci and Grisham and I have to admit that I agree. I have become a bit tired of the formulaic others and this was very interesting and quite different
