The story is narrated by the lawyer. It mainly focus on the character depression stemming from a divorce. The murder case is on the side line, or better in the background. There are no investigations, no attempts to solve the case, and we don't know the solution. The case helps the lawyer fight his depression. Most of his cases involve helping criminals get out of jail, but this murder case helps an innocent avoid life in prison. But all is played in the courtroom where layers fight each other with their speaches. The reading is fast and pleasant. It is more an introspective story than a mistery novel. ( )

libro da spiaggia

A rambling, amiable, not very thrilling courtroom drama with a likable narrator who takes on the defense of an African immigrant accused of murder. I enjoyed it anyway.
