Rusty Sabich, family man and the number-two prosecutor of Kindle County, is handed an explosive case—the brutal murder of a woman who happens to be his former lover. A shocking turn of events suddenly transforms him from the accuser into the accused... and plunges him into a nightmare world where nothing seems real and no one can be PRESUMED INNOCENT.

No one likable in the story
Revisado: 03-29-25
The only interesting part of this story was the court proceedings. It was clear to me who the killer was very early in the book, so I didn’t find any unexpected twists. The characters, particularly Rusty, were generally unlikable. There were so many stereotypes- women described primarily by their appearance or weight, blacks who spoke like they stepped out of the Roots miniseries, lazy Latinos, dirty cops - I was surprised the book was as recent as it was. The endless “reflections” of the main character which come off as arrogant musings of a person with no real ability self-reflect were just annoying. His obsession with the murder victim is incongruent with everything else we learn about him so it’s hard to buy into it. A full chapter on his sexual encounter with the murder victim read more like an anatomy book than an act of passion - had to fast forward through that - just turned my stomach. The spoon-feeding of the “mystery” at the end was overkill. Give your readers a little credit.

In the mid-1980s, someone stabbed six women to death in the Connecticut River Valley on the border between New Hampshire and Vermont. The murderer remains at large and the total number of his victims is unknown. In this brilliant work of true crime reportage, New York Times-bestselling author Philip E. Ginsburg provides fascinating insights into the groundbreaking forensic methods used to track the killer and paints indelible portraits of the lives he cut so tragically short.

Stream of consciousness
Revisado: 04-12-23
I kept waiting for this story to come together, but it never did. I felt like it was a (very long) series of unconnected notes. It was almost like the author was unable to edit anything out. Even the most banal detail was included for no apparent reason. “He told her he had been up reading.” “She looked as though she rarely wore makeup.” And don’t get me started with the excessive references to the women’s weight. “Obese” at 180 pounds. Unhappy with her weight at 140. This had nothing to do with the story. Unsolved crimes are only interesting if there is a compelling story to tell. So very many times I found myself saying, “So what?”
