Presumed Guilty, Tess Gerritsen
Synopsis
Miranda Wood thinks she has seen the last of Richard Tremain, her rich and married ex-lover—until she discovers him stabbed to death in her bed. With her knife.
Miranda is the obvious suspect, and she looks even guiltier when her bail is posted by an anonymous donor. Was this an act of kindness designed to buy her time to clear her name? Or is someone trying to manipulate Miranda and draw her into the dark and secret world of a murdered man, where everybody’s presumed guilty?
With her world falling around her, Miranda is determined to discover who killed Richard. But proving her innocence may become secondary to staying alive.…
Richard says
Tess Gerritsen writes crime novels and she does so really well. She engages the reader quickly and entertains them with polished prose. After a while, you can see the formula she uses repeatedly in her style of writing, but it works. It’s entertaining and light keeping you engaged almost the whole time you are reading her book.
Gerritsen’s style is predictable but like a comfortable shoe, it is comfortable reading that entertains, excites, surprises and engages any reader. She is simply an nice comfortable writer which may damning her with faint praise but, the short of what i am saying is that she never disappoints you. You expect a good story, with some suspenseful twists and a well developed plot…you get that with all of Gerritsen’s books.
Presumed Guilty is what Gerritsen labels as a romantic thriller meaning there is some romance in the story but it is still a murder story, well written and enjoyable.
