Presumed Guilty is about Miranda Wood, a woman that left her married lover, Richard Tremain, and is trying to break off the relationship. She returns to her home one night to find him murdered in her bed. She is immediately arrested, but someone mysteriously bails her out, much to dismay of the man’s family and his brother, Chase. Chase starts trying to get closer to Miranda to figure out if she murdered his brother because the “facts” don’t all add up for him. Miranda keeps protesting her innocence and the two grow closer as they hunt for clues to the real killer’s identity.
Presumed Guilty was orginally written and published by Tess Gerritsen back in the 1990s. Harlequin recently purchased the rights to her romance novels she wrote early in her career and is republishing them with new covers. I thought it was a new book, so I was a bit disappointed, but I was wasn’t too upset because I honestly needed to read something a little more light than her normal level of murder and mayhem.
