Sinossi
Rusty Sabich, viceprocuratore capo della Contea di Kindle, viene incaricato di svolgere le indagini sullo stupro e l'omicidio di una sua collega, Carolyn Polhemus, una donna energica, affascinante e sensuale, ma anche ambiziosa e di pochi scrupoli. La sua morte è fonte di grave imbarazzo per il procuratore distrettuale Raymond Horgan che, dovendo affrontare le imminenti elezioni per il rinnovo della carica, affida le indagini a Rusty nella speranza che una rapida soluzione del caso salvi la sua vacillante situazione politica. Ma Horgan ignora che Carolyn e Rusty, fino a pochi mesi prima del delitto, erano amanti. Le indagini iniziano e la soluzione del caso appare sempre più lontana. Finché, del tutto inaspettatamente, è proprio Rusty a essere accusato dell'omicidio di Carolyn. Il processo che ne segue avrà risvolti imprevedibili e metterà in luce nuovi e inquietanti retroscena. La Contea di Kindle è infatti un mondo di sottili ambiguità morali e di equilibri in perenne conflitto, in cui la verità rimane sempre nebulosa e nessuno è del tutto innocente.

The show was better. FRTC.₊˚ ‿︵‿︵‿︵୨୧ · · ♡ · · ୨୧‿︵‿︵‿︵ ˚₊The Apple TV series for this book just started last night - with ... hello. Jake Gyllenhaal. And now I need to read this. It's a rare day indeed when I say - I hope the book is as good as the show. Freaking addictive and mind binding. Leggi tutto
This is one of the best books that I have read recently. It is a great legal thriller cum murder mystery. No wonder the book finds mention in both the top 100 mystery/crime novel lists published by the Britain-based Crime Writers' Association and by the Mystery Writers of America. Both the lists wer Leggi tutto
This is a story about Rusty Sabicch, a chief deputy prosecutor who is arrested and tried for the rape and murder of a co-worker for whom he was having an affair. The case against Rusty is based on very circumstantial evidence. Still, the action in the courtroom is riveting. Sandy Stern is the defens Leggi tutto
ما الأكثر صعوبة؟ معرفة الحقيقة أو العثور عليها. أو البَوح بها أو تصديقها؟ إذا ظننت أنك تعرف الإجابة فأبشرك بأن اجابتك خاطئة. كانت وحيدة والدَيها. على غراري وعلى غرار نات. وشعرتْ بالظلم في أثناء نشأتها. كان اهتمام والديها بها خانقاً. واعتبرتْ أنه مزيَّف بطريقة ما. لقد ادّعت أنها كانت موجَّهة ومست Leggi tutto
Now i get what all the praise is about! If anything i enjoyed it more than i had hoped, even after reading its accolades. I mean what else can i say?! It deserves all it got! & imo it's still in a league of its own, so many years (& great legal thrillers) later. But i do really want to recommend the Leggi tutto

I had this weird dream last night. I was at the upcoming Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, and... here, let me give you my reconstruction...

Psychological thriller or legal thriller? You be the judge While PRESUMED INNOCENT might be most commonly categorized as a legal thriller, one could definitely make a case for calling it a psychological thriller. In much the same fashion as the appeal of Michael Connelly's Harry Bosch canon starts wi Leggi tutto
First of all, I was more than surprised to find out that Turow came before Grisham. This book was published in 1987 while Grisham's first novel, A Time to Kill came out a year later, and actually encouraged Grisham to embark on a writing career. Presumed Innocent is a well crafted blend of mystery an Leggi tutto
The hubster and I recently binged the Apple TV series, so I had to see how the book compares. I MUCH more preferred the series and didn't care for the book all that much. Perhaps because the book was published in the 80's, so things just seem outdated now. And it was sooooo long. The narrator was fi Leggi tutto
