Book Review: A Good Argument Against the Death Penalty
Summary: 5 Stars

Gandolph's original prosecutor was the ambitious Muriel Wynn, who is now running to be the first female Prosecuting Attorney for Kindle County. She secured Gandolph's conviction in an airport diner with her lover, Detective Larry Starczek, who originally arrested Gandolph. Also the original trial judge, Gillian Sullivan, who had sentenced Gandolph to death, has just recently been released from prison for taken bribes and now she is a recovering drug addict.

Raven's investigation into Gandolph's claim that he didn't commit the ten-year-old murders brings him into conflict with Wynn and Starczek, however Sullivan, who at first wasn't willing to help, becomes Raven's ally and a relationship develops between them.

So in a way, this is kind of a love story, but it's foremost a mystery with enough twists to make it a satisfying puzzle. It also has some very dramatic courtroom duels. However, if like me, you read and identify with several characters in a novel, you will be just as involved in the relationship between Raven and Sullivan as you are in the exoneration of Gandolph.

Mr. Turow seems to find some good in all his characters, even drug dealers and murderers, however his protagonists aren't lily white in character either. Muriel Wynn, Larry Starczek, Arthur Raven and Gillian Sullivan all do reprehensible things for a variety of reasons. But in the end, we understand that they are human, as are we all. I can't recommend this book highly enough.
