A tantalizingly tangled web of betrayal, deception and familial love...this twisty who's-who whodunit packs plenty of drama. --Family Circle A wrenching story of violence, betrayal, and human credibility. --Library Journal Suspense with twists and turns from a master of the form. --Sacramento Bee A compulsively readable tale of love, guilt and revenge that may take its cues from the story of Pollux and Castor and other Greek myths but resonates even more strongly with the near-epic Kindle County narrative Turow has created over some three decades. Even when Identical's many twists challenge the reader to figure out who's on first, it is Turow's deftly drawn characters - coping with advancing age, old grief and lost love - that linger in the mind. --Los Angeles Times Scott Turow's new novel is the dedicated fiction-reader's version of El Dorado: a driving, unputdownable courtroom drama/murder mystery that is also a literary treasure, written in language that sparkles with clarity and resonates with honest character insight. I came away feeling amazed and fulfilled, as we only do when we read novelists at the height of their powers. Put this one on your don't-miss list. (Praise for Innocent) --Stephen King It's classic Turow: love, lies, and lawyers. --Good Housekeeping Turow has obvious fun with his mythological conceit...the process of discovery takes nice and sometimes unexpected twists. Amid the super modernity of DNA tests, the austerity of case law and the tangles of contemporary politics, Turow never loses sight of the ancient underpinnings of his story...Classic (in more senses than one) Turow. --Kirkus Complexity is the hallmark of Turow's brainy legal thrillers. --USA Today
