gimley reviewed Pleading Guilty (Glassbook) by Scott Turow
Review of 'Pleading Guilty (Glassbook)' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
So it's a legal noir. Mack Malloy is your Marlowe character. Malloy, Marlowe, coincidence? If you like that genre, this one ain't bad. It's not Raymond Chandler, but whadya expect? Now I could be wrong, but I don't think [*SPOILER ALERT!!!***] that Brushy would have turned him in. There was insufficient foreshadowing for her betrayal--sure she was a goody-goody but also a romantic and in a noir, romantic is everything.
But you got your tragic view of life, your over the top metaphors, your insights about life, what more d'ya want?
