About ten years ago I read the book Presumed Innocent by Turow. The fact that I can remember the surprising conclusion of that book is a testament to how good it was. The main character is defense attorney Rusty Sabich. He finds himself as a defendant when a colleague is raped and murdered - and he happened to be having an affair with her.
Now it is déjà vu all over again! He's been having another affair - when will these men learn??????? And there is another dead body - only this time it is his bi-polar wife. He ends up back on trial again. This time it is even worse because he is a judge who is in contention for the state supreme court. And this time is son Nat is in the court room listening.
I loved the way Turow wrote this. The narration moves from Rusty to Nat to Anna (the mistress) and to the prosecuting attorney, Tommy Moto. The pace is quick and the story keeps you wondering what the truth really is.
