Another book that I‘d like to reread. I feel like I remember the movie more vividly than the book and yet I can‘t entirely recall the ending. Now that Apple has released a new version, I want to reread before watching.

There‘s so much to take in. A good piece of fictional legal literature. The anguish of a man who‘s life is turned upside down at revelations about infidelity and murder. 4 ⭐️

The first book I read by Scott Turow and really interested in reading about a title that I‘ve heard about a lot also because of the movie. Very very well written and I think is going to become one of my favourite authors of genere. #2020

KTOHARA That‘s incredible! 4y
KTOHARA No podía dormir por eso pasé al sitio de mi biblioteca y el único libro interesante en español que podía encontrar fue "Inocente" escrito por Scott Turow. Hace muchos años atrás miré Presumed Innocent y es una peli muy interesante con Harrison Ford y Raúl Julio. Pues anoche empecé a leer y me gustó una cantidad. Para estar más segura sobre la trama, busque los primeros capítulos en inglés en la tienda de Apple Books. No podía dejarlo en inglés ni 4y
KTOHARA en español! Pagué $10 pero vale la pena! Debes a ver si puedes continuar con este libro “Inocente “. 4y

As a former prosecutor and lover of mystery and suspense, I cannot believe I waited so long to read this classic thriller. It was intense and intricate and a great audiobook. Turow writes court scenes very well and the book had great pacing. Sabich, a prosecutor in chicago da office, begins an investigation into a murdered colleague and all kinds of twists and turns follow. #40thbdaychallenge #1987. Will read the rest of this series.

Cathythoughts Sounds great 👍🏻stacking 5y
Leftcoastzen This book was an immediate bestseller, but it was published in Aug. 1987 . 5y
Blaire @Leftcoastzen it does look like that was the release date...when I googled 1986 books it came up (trying to read one per year). It‘s listed as a 12/31/86 original publication date. Not sure if that was an ARC. Will prob still count it for my bday challenge since there‘s only 4 days left in the year. 5y

Leftcoastzen Probably was an ARC , I was working in bookstores back then ,don‘t want you to think I‘m a member of the release date police. 😂It was so popular , and I haven‘t read it yet! Overdue! 5y
Blaire @Leftcoastzen that makes total sense as to why you‘d remember it. Thanks for the explanation. ☺️. It was great - a total page turner. Made me take longer walks because I didn‘t want to turn off the audio. 5y
Blaire @Cathythoughts it was. I kept doing chores and walking for an excuse to listen. 5y

Guilty? Who, me?

1. Can the Poldark books and TV series count? The books are wonderful and Aidan Turner is SO dishy.

2. The Wedding Singer. I can quote it.

3. Nutella. Vast quantities of it, straight from the jar with a spoon. I can‘t even keep it in my house because this will happen. 🤢

4. I tag You! And You! I tag ALL of You!

saresmoore I haven‘t had Nutella in years, but gosh do I relate to your struggle. It‘s so delicious! 6y
MirrorMask The Wedding Singer is my favorite Adam Sandler movie 😃 6y
Libby1 @saresmoore - me and Nutella can never, ever live together! 6y
Libby1 @MirrorMask - I still can‘t believe that the 1980s are “retro “. 6y

Today's author spotlight: Scott (Frederick) Turow! The 68-year-old Chicago-born lawyer and author was married to painter Annette Weisberg for 35 years, and is now married to Adrian Glazier, their ceremony officiated by Dave Barry ?! In 1990, TIME described him as "Bard of the Litigious Age". 4 of his books have been adapted for the screen. He received Illinois's highest award, the Order of Lincoln. #AuthorPotpourri #TheMoreYouKnow

minkyb I cannot believe he is 68! Time does fly. 7y

4.5 stars ... A little too long.
If I wasn't doing so many challenges this year, I wouldn't have read this book. And that would be a shame.
This book is as much a character study as a procedural crime story, as much about a messy relationship as about a trial, as introspective as it is cinematic.
Also, somehow I guessed the culprit early on. But the book was so well-written that I gave up my guess & went for the ride. You should, too.

Cinfhen Excellent movie!!!! 7y
Sweettartlaura @Cinfhen I think I have to watch it now. 7y
Cinfhen But I think knowing the #twist may take away from the movie....acting was still amazing 7y
Sweettartlaura @Cinfhen Perhaps... But it's prime Harrison Ford 🔥 7y
KTOHARA Omg! Your kitty could be the twin of my boy Junior! Read the sequel too – “Innocent”! I could not put it down, Laura! 4y

#17BookLove #MysteriousLove This is a tough one! So many titles ...so I choose the first 5 that came to mind, well Girl on the Train and Gone Girl definitely came to mind but I'm sure those titles will be seeing lots of attention today(not that the rest of my choices are very original 😬) @jess.how I'm loving your prompts❤️❤️❤️

Reviewsbylola I loved all of these so much!!! (Except the Turow, haven't read that). 8y
howjessicareads Awww, thanks! 8y

Yesterday I watched "A Time To Kill", excellent movie adaption of one of my favourite #legalthrillers. I think I might be sticking with this genre for a while. "Presumed Innocent" was very good. Great writing, great plot and all the characters are firmly in the grey. Nothing's black and white :)

Some days I don't have the luxury of reading books. Today it's a 900-page trial transcript.

How "appealing", right?
