Description

The "unputdownable courtroom drama" (Stephen King) and riveting sequel to the landmark bestseller Presumed Innocent, in which Tommy Molto and Rusty Sabich come head-to-head in a second murder trial. More than twenty years after Rusty Sabich and Tommy Molto went head-to-head in the shattering murder trial in Presumed Innocent, the men are pitted against each other once again in a riveting psychological match. Now over sixty years old and the chief judge of an appellate court, Sabich has found his wife, Barbara, dead under mysterious circumstances. Molto accuses him of murder for the second time, setting into motion a trial that is vintage Turow-the courtroom at its most taut and explosive. PRAISE FOR INNOCENT "Breathtaking . . . worth the wait." -Philadelphia Inquirer "Masterful . . . compelling and enjoyable." -Cleveland Plain Dealer "Fresh and fierce, more than a courtroom procedural . . . [a] delectable page-turner." -Chicago Tribune "A cunning, intricate thriller . . . meticulously constructed and superbly paced, full of twists and surprises." -New York Times Book Review "Turow wins again . . . He remains at his best." -USA Today Read more

    • A Suspenseful Courtroom Thriller
Format: Hardcover
"Innocent" by Scott Turow is the sequel to his 1987 blockbuster "Presumed Innocent." Rusty Sabich, now chief judge of a state appellate court, is accused of the murder of a woman just as he was more than twenty years before, and his old nemesis, Prosecuting Attorney Tommy Molto, has him in court again, but this time for the murder of his wife. The courtroom narrative section is told mainly from the point of view of Rusty's son, Nat, in many ways the least prescient character. The prosecutor's long sections are told in the third person. Sections are narrated in the first person by Rusty and by his mistress Anna. Turow is a very felicitous writer, a good stylist who is skilled at characterization and plotting. Rusty's wife is so heavy into so many drugs for her manic-depression that it is mind-boggling. She is a computer whiz who lives in her own world apart from her husband's. When he's having his affair with Anna, and when the narration is switching back and forth between the two, we, as readers, are given more insights, but as the book goes on, Rusty becomes more difficult to fathom. He turns out to be too much of a cold fish, and we wish we got deeper into his psyche. Rusty at the end of the book is more of an enigma than he was at the beginning. Characters turn up from the previous book like his defense attorney Sandy Stern. Molto is afraid that he'll be hung out to dry as he was the first time, but he's continually egged on by his young hot-to-trot assistant, Jim Brand. Rusty says, "this case is old wine in a new bottles. It's just a lot of rancid crap from a compulsive guy who never figured out how to give up." Frustrated by his father's mood, his son Nat says, "up close and personal, my dad has actually got the cork in pretty tight." It's a terrific story, I think, spoiled by too much computer gobbledygook for the average reader like me. The author's use of computer terminology and geeky stuff in the court section is a detriment, and one wishes for the old days when human actions and simpler devices were the norm for crime novels. The book provides an insider's, a pro's knowledge of the way courts, judges, and the law operates. The trial scenes are well-managed and fascinating. It's a suspenseful roller coaster ride and well worth the trip. ... show more

    • Worth the Effort
Format: Kindle
Twists, turns, legal explanations, strategy and humanity’s foibles combine to make Presumed Innocent - Book 2 a great read. I’ll admit that, at times, I had to put it down. Either the narrative was too slow or the intensity too high for me to turn the page and move ahead. By the next day, though, my reluctance would give way to curiosity and an appreciation of the journey Mr. Turow had mapped for his readers. Finishing the book was never in question - it was just a matter of when. ... show more

Wow, I could not stop reading Innocent. Scott Turow takes you into the mind of each character - some readers have not liked that as read in other comments, but I found the introspective approach to storytelling a fascinating method. Enjoy.

    • If you loved Presumed Innocent, I have no doubt you’ll love Innocent. Jump. It will satiate you.
Format: Kindle
For all those who say Innocent is not as good as Presumed Innocent, it’s too easy to forget what a high bar that is for almost everyone reading this book. It is a different book. It has four narrators: Rusty, his son Nat, Tommy Molto – who gets a whole new, humanizing, look – and Anna, a sympathetic character with a complex role. Sandy Stern still plays a lead role, but he is less of a star than in Presumed. (This fact alone might have discouraged me from reading this book, but I’m glad it didn’t.) Yes, Rusty is older, but he is the exact same character you knew. The writing, something perhaps too easily overlooked in such a good story, is such a pleasure to read that it astonishes. It is as good or better than in PI, but either way is immediately familiar in the best sense. And I found the ending unquestionably more satisfying than the ending in Presumed Innocent. While Turow is never going to wrap things up in a (unbelievable) Happily-Ever-After-Walk-Into-the-Sunset, the ending of Innocent left me far more settled than Presumed did. Like I had finished a really excellent, nine course meal, down to the perfectly rich desert and lulling after-dinner drink, and could walk away perfectly sated; a feeling I did not come close to having after Presumed. I don’t feel the hesitation some seem to have in recommending this book wholeheartedly. So again, if you loved Presumed Innocent, don’t hesitate. You won’t mourn that the characters have gotten older. They haven’t fundamentally changed. If you loved Presumed Innocent, I have no doubt you’ll love Innocent. Jump. It will satiate you. *I must also say that some allude that the mystery or twist is how the death of Barbara occurred, but that is not the twist, so do not be put off by thinking that’s much of an issue, or that you’ve somehow tripped on a spoiler. ... show more

He should have told his the truth about the first trial. Remarkable secular view of marriage, love and sex. Well written, though.
