A review by mazza57
Identical by Scott Turow

3.0

I have not read anything else by Scott Turrow but would certainly consider other offerings from him. This book is more than just a mystery, having some elements of forensic criminology and some legal underpinnings as well. The plot was good but i did work out really early on that there were only two likely culprits. What i couldn't work out was how the initial investigation had managed to fit the forensics to the confession. I really enjoyed Turrow's characterisation and felt they were fully fleshed within the story. I did think everything was a little drawn out towards the end and that some parts of the book were taken to unnecessary lengths. Whilst the personal life of the investigators were interesting they id not necessarily add anything to the plot. This is why the book gets only a 3 star rating
