Innocent by Scott Turow

4.0

This is a strong, compulsively readable sequel to Presumed Innocent. The plot is expertly crafted and the pacing is terrific. Even though the original novel was published decades ago, you jump right back into the characters from the original novel and the incredibly complex relationships between them, particularly Barbara/Rusty and Rusty/Tommy Molto. Although one particular plot line is a little far-fetched, overall the very clever, deliberate legal thriller carries the day. Reading the original novel enhances the experience but isn't necessary to enjoying this book.
