I REREAD PRESUMED INNOCENT TEN YEARS AFTER THE FIRST READING AND AFTER GETTING BACK INTO SCOTT TUROW. IT WAS JUST AS GOOD THE SECOND TIME. I ALSO LOVED INNOCENT, BURDEN OF PROOF AND IDENTICAL TUROW IS A PLOT MASTER!

Does not disappoint
This book lives up to the review I heard on the Diane Rheam show on NPR radio. The book arrived in fine shape and I am enjoying it now.
