Reviews

A novel that starts as a legal thriller turns into a brilliantly plotted whodunit. Empathetic and endearing, Tim clearly deserves his own spin-off series * Sunday Times *
Turow has many gifts . . . He long ago proved that he is a fine stylist whose sly, grave sentences are merciless tools for probing a criminal justice system unequal to the task of sorting out responsibility for human frailty * New York Times *
The thrill of any good Turow novel is that heart-stopping instant when you realize you've been piecing together the wrong puzzle * Entertainment Weekly *
