Good. Based on a real sting operation in Chicago called Operation Greylord. It follows an attorney who has been paying off judges for years. He's found out, but agrees to work with the FBI to catch the judges so he can stay with his wife while she's dying of ALS. He's the nicest guy in the book!
Weird overall, but a reminder of what a good writer Turow is.

My audio book club shipped this by mistake, but since I liked a movie that was based on a Turow novel (Presumed Innocent?), I thought I'd give it a listen. It was pleasant enough, if you like legal procedurals.
This was a very slow moving book. ok audio. much focus on the corruption of the court which got confusing.
This was a remarkable book from an author and a genre I don't usually read about. I was quite shocked that I liked this. The story was well thought of, well paced and well written. The characters are memorable and they became a part of you. It's a law story that has heart and I think that what was good about it. I think this book is underrated so I recommend everybody to grab a copy and read it! Watch out for the twist at the end!
While the story was fine, what really made this audio book sing was the narration by the late Ken Howard.
To me, a few audiobook narrations stand out. Jim Dale's of the Harry Potter books. Bernadette Dunne's in The Secret Agent. Almost anything by George Guidall.
Howard narrated the story so artfully, that later I sought out a book he had written, Act Natural, to learn whether he shared anything usefule on using your voice.
