It definitely turned me in to a Scott Turow fan and I have read everything he's written since then. I read Presumed Innocent over twenty years ago and always considered it one the best books I'd ever read. If you like stories about lawyers, crime, and courtroom drama, you should enjoy this book, as well as Presumed Innocent. The narrator, Edward Hermann, in both of these books is so very expertise in his tone, pace and challenging accents. Nevertheless, Turow is skilled in bringing the listener along as his characters are faced with choices and dilemmas in their lives, making the story so interesting and engrossing. The ending is satisfying the exception being a few paragraphs that are narrated by a female portraying one of the main characters, that just didn't fit in with the rest of the well written novel. I found myself engrossed in the characters lives and story. Although not entirely necessary to read the first of this two part series, I think doing so brings the listener a much better understanding of the story line. This is really part two of a previous book by Turow, Presumed Innocent.
