APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
A man relives his darkest hour in this brilliant legal thriller. Many in Kindle County remember when Judge Rusty Sabich—then a prosecuting attorney—was tried for the murder of his mistress. After all, Rusty’s rabid fellow prosecutor Tommy Molto almost won the case. So when Rusty’s wife, Barbara, dies under suspicious circumstances over 20 years later, many reignite their old suspicions, especially Tommy. We loved the psychological angle of this courtroom thriller. Narrators Edward Herrmann and Orlagh Cassidy vividly lead us through chapters told from the POVs of Rusty; his son, Nat; his mistress, Anna; and Tommy himself. Through this smart approach, author Scott Turow helps us construct an idea of the case that’s as much about perception as it is about facts. That goes double for Rusty’s chapters, which force you to consider whether he’s sometimes being deceptive—even to himself. Best of all, when you finish Innocent you can dive into the full story of Rusty’s infamous first murder trial in Turow’s earlier novel Presumed Innocent.
