Clarice "Pinky" Granum and Rik Dudek are assigned to help represent Police Chief Lucia Gomez in a sexual harrassment case -sex in exchange for a promotion. The chief claims innocence. As Pinky, a PI with a checkered past of sex and drugs, delves into the past of both Gomez and her accusers, she notices that her new neighbor acts strangely. Is he a spy?
Secrets of the chief's questionable behavior, combined with the testimony of her accusers, leads Pinky to discover a deeper secret from years earlier, and now the chief's life is in danger.
I enjoyed this story, and Pinky's scrappy attitude.
An enjoyable read.

Presumed Innocent was originally published by Scott Turow back in 1987 and it was turned into a movie featuring Harrison Ford not too many years later. I made the mistake of Googling it before reading it so the entire time I just pictured the main character as Harrison Ford the entire time…I have also not seen the movie.
This is the first book in the Kindle County series about a prosecutor whose friendships are questioned when he gets accused of murdering a fellow co-worker. For the most part I enjoyed the story and the ending was interesting and unexpected.
There was a lot that I didn’t care for. For one, it is very long and wordy. One paragraph could take up an entire page. There were times where it was really slow and I skimmed it. Also the main character is not likeable.
The ending was not set up for a sequel so I’m curious how the series has 12 books and is still going…I will give book 2 a try but this wouldn’t be in my top recommend lists for crime...
★★★
