Loved this book, because Scott Turow knows how to write about what is in the hearts of good, decent, everday people. I noted other reviewers stated this book was merely a "love story" but cannot agree with that categorization. It's a great read.

Kathy is right! This isn't a murder mystery. Mysteries keep you guessing until the end when all is resolved but this is a danged romance novel in disguise! Less touchy-feely, more investigation, blood, and mystery.

This book can't seem to decide what it wants to be - a novel about a dysfunctional family; a novel about a spineless, snivelling son; or, a murder mystery.
