Welcome back to Kindle County, where skies are generally gray, the truth is seldom simple, and the partners of a top-drawer corporate law firm are counting on one world-weary attorney to save them from front-page scandal and financial ruin.
When Gage & Griswell's star litigator suddenly disappears - along with $5.6 million of its most important client's money - the assignment of locating both goes to Mack Malloy, a 50ish ex-cop, almost ex-drunk, and partner-on-the-wane at G&G. Mack's search takes him into the treacherous inner sanctum of his firm and through the shadowy heart of the city itself, on a path that soon runs him up against his longtime nemesis - the odious Pigeyes - as he plucks the threads of a dangerous web of corruption, deceit, and murder.
An edge-of-the-chair journey into an ominous and enthralling world, Pleading Guilty is at once a brilliantly constructed puzzle, a relentlessly entertaining character study, and as suspenseful a story as any listener could want - a masterpiece of midwestern menace that could come only from Scott Turow.

The performance was very good. I will check out the author and see what else he has performed..
So all in all this is a good book that you could do other things while listening to this book. Typically I enjoy books where you have to think and not do a bunch of other things while listening/

Upon finishing this book, it occurred to me that all of Turow's books that I've read up to this point feature a middle aged white guy lawyer who either creates a scandal or is called on to investigate suspicious activity. The narrator then spends over half the book ruminating over a failed marriage or troubled
upbringing.
These obsessive thoughts don't prevent our main character from having sexual encounters. Of which there are many, since women are drawn to a mysterious guy with a traumatic past.
The plot moves along sluggishly with occasional hints as to who did what, but none of the information feels irrefutable. Turow's characters always act like the don't know--or care--about plot points until the final chapters of a story. Then the main character suddenly becomes competent and connects a ton of evidence that up to that point felt circumstantial at best.
The overriding feeling one is left with after reading the Turow books I mentioned l above, as well as Pleading Guilty, is that no characters face lasting consequences for their behavior.
Robert Petkoff is a great narrator and he's best playing sarcastic jerks. As other reviewers have said, Malloy is not a likeable character, so the narration makes up somewhat for the book's failings.
Guilty of the Turow Formula
