- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Not one to throw around star ratings, I found myself completely engrossed in this account of the life of Lawyer Alejandro Stern, a fictional gentlemen who encounters events beyond his comprehension in his extended family. Thorough, intelligent, and even handed, he is forced to apply all his legal skills and principles to resolving the complex issues involving his family after an apparent suicide of his long time wife, whose mysterious affairs begun to unfold. While grieving for the loss of the only woman he has ever loved, he finds himself aroused as new romantic situations present themselves amidst the chaos of facing the trauma of his new situation where new surprises unfold before him.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Turow has upped his game since the first book in the series. This has a more standard structure. Two mysteries, one professional and one personal, that tie together in the end. Legal and finance mixed together gives the setting some spice.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Another great one by Mr. Turow! I wish I had the time to read the rest of the books he's written. Maybe one day.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5This book is entertaining...but not Turow's best work. If you like to read about the sexual fantasies of a 60-year old attorney, this book is for you. The story is somewhat compelling but ends quite disappointingly (and quite predictably). If you are reading this after 'Presumed Innocent' you will likely be disappointed.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I could have handled a little less of the main character’s sex life, but that was the only flaw. It is difficult to put down. The plot keeps taking unexpected twists and turns.
