Book Overview

NOW AN APPLE ORIGINAL SERIES FROM APPLE TV+ STARRING JAKE GYLLENHAAL From #1 New York Times bestselling author and hailed as the most suspenseful and compelling novel in decades, this story brings to life our worst nightmare: that of an ordinary citizen facing conviction for the most terrible of all crimes. Rusty Sabich, family man and the number-two prosecutor of Kindle County, is handed an explosive case--the brutal murder of a woman who happens to be his former lover. A shocking turn of events suddenly transforms him from the accuser into the accused... and plunges him into a nightmare world where nothing seems real and no one can be PRESUMED INNOCENT. 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 trial--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. And it will hold you and haunt you...long after you have reached its shattering conclusion. This description may be from another edition of this product.

Excellent writing

Having seen the movie a long time ago, and having read a couple of Turows later books, I was very pleasantly surprised that not only did I not feel I ruined the book by knowing how it all turned out I also felt that this book was his strongest story.Intrigue, romance, lies, betrayal, sex, murder, powerful attorney's and a story with twists and turns, this is a must read for any that are interested in the genre and haven't...

The case of Kindle County vs. Rusty Sabich

I still pick up my battered paperback copy of "Presumed Innocent" from time to time and reread my favorite scenes, which probably speaks to the worth of Scott Turow's novel as much as anything. But ultimately I think the strength of this novel is that it works well on both parts of the law & order equation, that is to say, both in the courtroom in terms of the legal drama as well as outside where the detective elements...

Absolutely Amazing

This book grabbed my attention from the first moment and held on to it until the end. Instead of being a predictable legal thriller, like some others I have read, this great murder mystery/legal thriller has plenty of twists and turns through its thick and nuanced plot. The story is set in Kindle County and is about Rusty Sabich, a man who seems set for life: he has a lovely wife and son, a job in the Prosecuting Attorney's...

Presumed Innocent

I just read a review on this site that made me wonder if that reviewer and I had read the same book. Her obvious disappointment with the characters and plot was sad to read. "Presumed Innocent" was a fascinating read I thought. Rusty Sabich is accused of murdering his colleague and, unbeknownst to his accusers, his ex-lover. He tells his own story, and if Scott Turow is a lawyer first, his career as a writer must follow...

I couldn't put it down....

I just finished this book last night, at 2:30 am, less than four hours before I have to get up to go to work. It's that good. It took me two days to read the first third, and one day to read that last two-thirds....I could not put this book down. At the end, I felt like, I should have guessed who the murderer was, but I never had a clue. I even had to re-read the pages over again to make sure that what I was reading...
