PRESUMED GUILTY Presumed Innocent, Book 3

It's been 38 years since we first met Rusty Sabich in PRESUMED INNOCENT. Narrator Grover Gardner, one of the best in the business, affects a smooth and evocative tone as he reminds us how Rusty was found innocent of murdering his mistress. Now he's entering the third act of his life with his engagement to the loving and insightful Bea. Gardner's tone and rhythm increase the tension as authorities accuse Bea's young adult African American son, Aaron, of killing his girlfriend. Rusty must return to court to save Aaron's life--and his last chance for love. Gardner adds a tone of mistrust as Rusty questions whether Aaron can receive a fair trial. He delightfully delivers Gen Z slang as heartbreaking revelations come to light. R.O. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: JANUARY 2025]
