The sequel to the genre-defining, landmark bestseller Presumed Innocent, INNOCENT continues the story of Rusty Sabich and Tommy Molto who are, once again, twenty years later, pitted against each other in a riveting psychological match after the mysterious death of Rusty's wife.

!1: Best Buy I greatly enjoyed "Presumed Innocent" and was excited when I heard that Mr. Turow had written a sequel to catch up with the characters from that book. I enjoyed the chance to see how Rusty, Barbara, Sandy, Tommy, et al had fared in the years since we were first introduced.

Few of the characters are admirable. In fact, Tommy Molto fares better than most in the reader's appraisal of character, I thought. Since Mr. Molto was among the villains of the earlier novel, that was one of the pleasant developments of this update.

Rusty Sabich's motivations in life continue to elude me more than a bit. It doesn't strike me as plausible that a man would stay married to a woman who had murdered his lover and left clues to implicate him in the crime. I don't care how good your marriage counselor is, that's a tough hurdle to clear. Barbara Sabich's motivation for staying in the marriage seem more clear--she's mentally unbalanced. However, Rusty remains a bit of a mystery to me.

I thought a grown-up Nat Sabich was too dense in his seeming inability to put two and two together around many of the important plot points. The chapters written in his voice were my least favorite ones.

Sandy Stern--my favorite character from the first novel--returns to try and pull Rusty's bacon out of the fire again. The years and sickness have dulled neither his mind nor his zeal to work for his client's exoneration.

I thought the story was interesting and had fun exploring it. The writing syle and manner in which elements of the plot unfold are, in my opinion, as enjoyable as in the original.

In reality, I think I would probably give this 3.5 stars, but Amazon only deals in whole numbers here, so I'll go with four. A fun read that, I hope, will be enjoyed by you as much as it was by me. on Sale!

The police can't help you

Former CIA agent Jack Morgan runs Private, a renowned investigation company with branches around the globe. It is where you go when you need maximum force and maximum discretion. The secrets of the most influential men and women on the planet come to Jack daily--and his staff of investigators uses the world's most advanced forensic tools to make and break their cases.

The press will destroy you

Jack is already deep into the investigation of a multi-million dollar NFL gambling scandal and the unsolved slayings of 18 schoolgirls when he learns of a horrific murder close to home: his best friend's wife, Jack's former lover, has been killed. It nearly pushes him over the edge. Instead, Jack pushes back and devotes all of Private's resources to tracking down her killer.

Only one place to turn: Private

But Jack doesn't have to play by the rules. As he closes in on the killer and chooses between revenge and justice, Morgan has to navigate a workplace love affair that threatens to blow the roof off his plans. With a plot that moves at death-defying speeds, Private is James Patterson sleekest, most exciting thriller ever.

!1: Best Buy I wanted to read this book from Patterson because the co-author was the one he partners with for the Women's Murder Club. It was a good, fast read. It held my interest until the end and as always, he can add some twists and turns to the plot. on Sale!
