Personal Injuries (Kindle County Book 5)
£4.70
A portrayal of imperfect justice, Personal Injuries is Scott Turow’s fifth Kindle County legal thriller.
Robbie Feaver is a successful personal injury lawyer, with a burgeoning practice, a way with the ladies and a beautiful wife he loves – who is dying of an incurable illness. He also has a secret bank account where he occasionally deposits funds which make their way into the pockets of judges who decide Robbie’s cases.
Robbie is apprehended and, in exchange for leniency, agrees to ‘wear a wire’ as he continues to try to fix decisions. The FBI agent assigned to supervise him goes by the alias of Evon Miller. She is stocky, lonely, uncomfortable in her skin, and impervious to Robbie’s charms. And she carries secrets of her own . . .
As the law tightens its net, Robbie’s and Evon’s stories will converge thrillingly and ultimately tragically . . .

Incredibly well crafted, well written and absolutely clever in all it’s intricate plotting. It’s sad to finish a book this good.

Book was said to have been despatched on the 7th but it only arrived on the 22nd, far to slow for a small package.

I am a great fan of Scott Turow and usually find that I cannot put his books down. This one, however, loses its way in the middle and becomes rather dull. I stuck with it and I have to say it picked up towards the end. I did feel disappointed.

Excellent and believable story. Great characters and their lives explored so to have kept my attention. I shall read all the kindle county books.

I loved this book. At the beginning, I found it a bit slow going and the writing a little dense. The characterisations and verbal soul searching were too long and too detailed. But after a short while I was really sucked in to this story about a very dishonest and deluded man who could not stop pretending. The descriptions of his activities and those around him were fascinating and I had a hard time putting the book down to go to sleep at night. I really wanted to know what happened in the end to Robbie, his wealthy but dishonest colleagues, his friends, family and the people controlling him. Scott Turow is a really exceptional writer. He writes legal thrillers that would challenge the best literary fiction from the US and the UK. With better editing, I’d have given this six stars!

A wonderfully plotted story. Characterisation best ever. This book has all the hallmarks of a classic in almost any genre.
