Innocent by Scott Turow

Title: Innocent
Author: Scott Turow
Did I listen or read?: Read the library book
When did I finish?: January 3, 2011
When was the book published: 2010
Main Characters: Rusty Sabich, the judge, Tommy Molto, The D.A. Rusty's son, Nat, and his legal clerk, Anna, play a major role.
What happens? The action jumps back and forth over an 18 month period between the death of Sabich's wife and the trial of Rusty for the murder, with lots of other events in the middle. This is a sequel to "Presumed Innocent" and is completely impossible to put down. Turow's writing just works for me - I find out who the characters are without being beaten over the head, and the viewpoints (first person for Rusty, Nat and Anna - third person for Molto) is just amazing. I wish every book was this good.
How long was this? 404 pages
Did I like this? Absolutely. I love everything this guy writes; this was among the best.
Overall grade: A+
