About this listen

Now a major TV series from Apple TV+ starring Jake Gyllenhaal.

From the godfather of the legal thriller, Presumed Innocent by Scott Turow is a gripping courtroom drama about ambition, hypocrisy and justice.

Carolyn Polhemus was an assistant prosecuting attorney, intelligent and full of promise. When she is found dead – assaulted and strangled – the curtain is pulled on a dark, tangled web of sex, corruption and betrayal.

Before long, prosecutor Rusty Sabich stands accused of her murder. He was having an affair with Carolyn – the motive seems clear-cut. With no one to trust, it is up to Rusty to uncover the truth behind this deadly crime – and prove his innocence in the process . . .

Brilliant performance by an outstanding narrator.

Just bought the next in the series and hope it’s even half as good.

The detailed unravelling of a complex plot. Beautifully written and crafted.

I really enjoyed this, the first booki have listened to of this author but probably not the last. I found the plot to be believable and the characters well drawn. I found the plot twists were very well done and I was kept guessing throughout. A great listen and one I would recommend.

Intricate story expertly told

I bought this book following watching the tv series. I found it hard to listen to mostly because of the droll narrator and difficult names. The story is good and ends satisfyingly. I would not listen to Scott’s second book mainly due to the narrator.

Good story twist

Amazing story which everyone should read/listen to before dying. 🤩

Perhaps too many characters for an audiobook, but they all play their parts at the end, nobody is left behind.

Fantastic thrilling story

An enjoyable read but narrative heavy/ dialogue light. Much reads like a 40's detective noir with the first person perspective overriding dialogue and consequently character building is weak. and there are a lot of characters to get your head around, possibly too many than waa necessary for a novel.

Lacks real thrill though, there aren't many edge of the seat or cliff edge moments because everything is delivered in slow burn first party narration.

I can see why they made drastic changes to the movie versions plot, to add some excitement because the ending is a definite anticlimax.

The courtroom scenes are however done with excellent attention to legal and behavioural detail.

Good legal thriller but lacks substance
