New Tricks by David Rosenfelt

Exactly what you'd expect from Rosenfelt, funny, light and entertaining. Andy's client is convicted of murder and the evidence is stacked against them..and they kill the actual murderer but it is inadmissible.

The Dark Horse by Craig Johnson

Another enjoyable Walt Longmire story. Walt goes undercover in a small mean spirited town to solve a murder. No support from the town or law enforcement because someone has confessed to the crime.

Burden Of Proof by Scott Turow

The life of Sandy Stern, the lawyer Innocent and Presumed Innocent, life is laid out in detail following his wife's suicide. The intricacies and delicacies are up to Turow's high standards. I was interested the entire throughout the entire tale.

Rough Country by John Sandford

12/16 listened again, pretty good. Another enjoyable read about Virgil Flowers, a lawman who get's his man. This time the crime is set at a lesbian lodge. Sandford tells a good story and develops likable characters, but his plot and endings leave a lot to be desired.

Presumed Innocent by Scott Turow

This is an excellent book. I'd read it many years ago and it still kept me excited to return to. The prequel to Innocent, this book outshines it, and it was very good. Public Defender is put on trial for murder by his colleagues, enduring publicity and politics.

Innocent by Scott Turow

Judge who barely escaped being imprisoned for murdering a woman he had an affair with 20 years ago (Presumed Innocent) has another affair with equally disrupting results. The book is strong but peters out a little at the end. I enjoyed this read a lot.
