Presummed Guilty

Tess Gerritsen is never a disappointment, love all her books! Book arrived quickly. Thumbs up!

Book is a good read and keeps your interest

The book arrived in good time but was a little more used than expected. It was readable but pages were all yellowed and book smelt a little musty. I knew it was rated in "GOOD" condition but I guess I just expected it to be in better shape than it was as compared to my other purchases. Otherwise I am happy with the transaction and am enjoying reading the book.

ENJOYABLE

Tess Gerritsen is by far one of the best mystery/suspense authors. Presumed Guilty did not have the intense suspense as some of her medical thrillers but it was still enjoyable. It was well written and was an enjoyable mystery. I purchase anything written by Tess Gerristen and have not yet been disappointed.

Guilty of being stupid

Miranda had an affair with a married man. Her was stabbed to death in her bed. The police believe they have found the murderer. Miranda. Someone secretly posts Miranda's bail and now someone is trying to kill her. Enters her ex-lover's brother, he was certain that Miranda was guilty. But when he discovers someone is trying to kill her and there's more to the story than what it seems he starts to believe in her innocence and trys to find the murderer. The reason for 4 stars rather than 5 was the story was too predictible.

SUSPENSEFUL BOOK!

Before Tess Gerritsen started writing the long medical thrillers such as Harvest, she wrote for the Harlequin Intrigue line.....these books have the same style of writing, with superb character development and storylines, but a shorter story with a touch more of romance......(just up my alley!) Miranda Wood's ex-lover was found stabbed to death in her bed....all evidence pointing towards herself, she is imprisoned. The dead man's brother, Chase Tremain, anonymously posts bail without knowing if she was the murderer or not....hoping to keep an eye on her, he has doubts about her guilt when he witnesses some attempts on her life!...that is, unless she's a good actress!! I liked the emotional roller-coaster ride..........great climax!
