A review by snowbenton
Presumed Innocent by Scott Turow

3.0

This was published in 1987 and it shows. The casual bigotry, racism, and sexism are painful to read. For example,

the main character is cheating on his wife and it literally never occurs to him to use a condom. Someone asks him what method of birth control they used and he apologizes for not being a gentleman enough to concern himself with what she was doing. S I R. TAKE CARE OF YOUR HEALTH.

. Insane.

If you can get past this, the mystery is solid and I enjoyed the reveal.

I knew his wife did it pretty early on because the clues were well-placed, but I loved it. I also liked at the end when he is talking it over with his friend and he really still isn't sure of all of her motivations for doing it.
