I think he's one of the more underrated authors in the mystery genre. He tells a complex story that is sometimes hard to follow, and this is another financial-type mystery. Loved the ending.

Pleading Guilty by Scott Turow is easier to read than Filth by Irvine Welsh, but the self-destructive protagonist still got on my nerves. I enjoyed the book more when I started skipping paragraphs of internal dialog to get back to the action. Mack is an ex-cop, washed-up lawyer, and recovering alcoholic. When a partner at his firm goes AWAL (with 5.6 million dollars) the managing committee shanghais Mack into looking for him. Or rather, the 5.6 million, because it turns out that very few people at the firm care much about the missing partner.

Good story but, sort of dry and more description/s than necessary.

This is a tale that keeps you guessing. Our hero is an almost-washed-up lawyer--a partner in a major firm. He is on a quest to save the firm's reputation by finding a senior partner who has apparently absconded with millions of a major client's money. But, things may not always be what they seem...

Slow starter, but book is full of plot twists that will keep you guessing until the end. Mack is a good lead character who fights with his conscience in his pursuit for justice. Could have been written by Grisham in his later style.

This was a very disappointing and boring book. I usually like what Scott Turow writes but this was a drag, depressing and plots changed too often. Hard to figure out what was going on and I wasn't sure I wanted to figure it out! Can not recommend.

It took me a while to get into the book but once I did it was very entertaining.

To call this book boring and pointless really doesn't do it justice. There's quite a collection of lawyerly characters and none of them generated one minute's interest or sympathy. The 'hero' fills his mental maunderings with little 'gems' of thought. He ponders the question of whether there are No Victims or whether there are Only Victims. Problem is - after a few pages we don't care who is victim and who isn't. None of the characters are developed beyond physical description and list of assets or talents. No one speaks from the heart or displays any concern. I found this surprising because the entire novel is basically a financial caper and amongst this crowd someone should show some enthusiasm for stealing over $5 million. Shouldn't that make someone happy or sad or at least excited? The vocabulary and organization are dull. Actually there was not one reason to finish this book, but I did. Guess I wanted a reason to place Turow on my 'No Thanks' list for life.
