This is one of Ms. Gerritsen's early books that I grabbed on sale. While I like her later books better, I appreciate the Maine setting and her writing. The mystery was pretty good: Miranda has broken off her affair with her boss, a married man when his body is found with a knife in his chest on her bed. His brother arrives and becomes involved in finding clues about the murder. However, I didn't like the romance here. It detracts from the rest of the story, so I give this book 3 1/2 stars rounded up. (

The love story almost over-rode the mystery and made the story frustrating to follow. Those of us that love her forensic novels will find this one a little boring at times but I knew that she could pull this story out. I was almost wrong in this assumption since we had to deal with small town mentality...not really likable characters... and multiple suspects all with good reasons to murder her husband. (

Tess Gerritsen is by far one of the best mystery/suspense authors. "Presumed Guilty" did not have the intense suspense as some of her medical thrillers but it was still enjoyable. It was well written and was an enjoyable mystery (

Utterly stupid, sorry to say. All characters are cardboard and the relationship between the main characters is based on nothing because he doesn't trust her until the very last moment, when it becomes clear she is innocent. I wouldn't want a partner like that. I couldn't understand why she wanted to get involved with him at all.
In the last part of the book the heroine behaves even more TSTL as she sets out to corrupt/steal evidence that is supposed to prove her innocence (personally I don't see why the author of the letters HAS to be the killer).The villain also behaves TSTL by not turning the tables on the heroine at that moment.
Grade: F (

Hij ligt op haar bed, is vermoord met haar mes en was haar minnaar...

bij onderzoek naar de moord op Richard Tremain wijst alle bewijs in de richting Miranda Wood. Een crime passionnel, zo luidt de conclusie. Maar Miranda heeft de moord niet gepleegd, en hoe uitzichtloos de situatie ook is, ze is vast van plan dat te bewijzen.
In eerste instantie is ook Chase Tremain ervan overtuigd dat zijn broer is neergestoken door zijn ex-minnares. Tot hij Miranda in de ogen kijkt en daar totaal andere emoties ziet dan hij verwachtte. Ten prooi aan twijfel laat hij zich overhalen om samen met haar op zoek te gaan naar de werkelijke dader.
Al snel is het bewijzen van Miranda's onschuld echter nog maar bijzaak. Eerst moeten ze in leven blijven!
