Innocent, by Scott Turow, a-minus, narrated by Edward Hermann, produced by Recorded Books, downloaded from audible.com.

This is the sequel to Turow’s best book, in my opinion, “Presumed Innocent” written at least 20 years earlier. In the first book we had Rusty Sabich, then an assistant prosecutor, accused of killing a colleague. He was prosecuted by Tommy Molto, and eventually acquitted. But Molto has always believed he actually committed the first murder. So, when Rusty wakes up one morning and his own wife lies dead beside him in bed, Molto is drawn back into the struggle between himself and Sabich as he is now going to be the main suspect in his wife’s death, particularly after it appears to have been a carefully planned murder. But Rusty is now older, he’s an appeals court judge, and he has a grown son who he loves very much. Again Rusty strayed into an affair, and he’s back in the suspect seat. This is a very well-written book and I thought Turow avoided all the clichés and bad prose he could have written about the reuniting of Sabich and Molto. I liked this book almost as much as “Presumed Innocent”.
