Fiction. Literature. Thriller. HTML:Rommy "Squirrel" Gandolph is a Yellow Man, an inmate on death row for a 1991 triple murder in Kindle County. His slow progress toward certain execution is nearing completion when Arthur Raven, a corporate lawyer who is Rommy's reluctant court-appointed representative, receives word that another inmate may have new evidence that will exonerate Gandolph.

Arthur's opponent in the case is Muriel Wynn, Kindle County's formidable chief deputy prosecuting attorney, who is considering a run for her boss's job. Muriel and Larry Starczek, the original detective on the case, don't want to see Rommy escape a fate they long ago determined he deserved, for a host of reasons. Further complicating the situation is the fact that Gillian Sullivan, the judge who originally found Rommy guilty, is only recently out of prison herself, having served time for taking bribes.

Scott Turow's compelling, multi-dimensional characters take the reader into Kindle County's parallel yet intersecting worlds of police and small-time crooks, airline executives and sophisticated scammersâ??and lawyers of all stripes. No other writer offers such a convincing true-to-life picture of how the law and life interact, or such a profound understanding of what is at stakeâ??personally, professionally, and morallyâ??when the state holds the power to end a ma

I like Turow, and I like the characters in his books, but I found myself distracted at the beginning of the book. However, once I got a little further, the story took off, and I found the story very engaging. ( )

Pretty weak mystery--not much suspense and not much mystery. ( )
  ChuckRinn | Oct 4, 2020 |
Whilst this is deemed a legal thriller on the cover, I rather felt the slow and methodical manner in which things initially unfolded made it more of a legal or crime procedural, maybe a suspense novel.

However once the plot moved firmly into the time period in which it was set (2001) the story did become a bit more thrilling, and you became more invested in seeing how the courtroom maneuvering would unfold in terms of revealing the truth.

I can't say that I at all found the prosecutor and lead detective in the story were at all ethical, and I feel it quite saddening that their are such people out there who would rather tear someone else down than admit their own shortcomings or errors.

As such, I wasn't particularly enthused with the way the story came to resolve the plot, I would have preferred for them to tangle it out all the way to the end in the courtroom, yet I can see the way it did unfold conveyed a particular message.

Overall, it was a good legal story, not quite as thrilling and captivating as Grisham's works yet perhaps more thought provoking. ( )

I've finished this book.
To the reader of that sentence it may sound like I'm sighing at the end of it and he would not be wrong.

It was a lot of pages, of which I'm not sure what they wanted to tell me. I often lost track of the (crook) characters and some storylines.

But... I do not entirely blame the book. It is the restlessness in me too, that makes it very hard to concentrate. Another day, under different circumstances this could have been a book I ejoyed very much. ( )
