Guerrieri is asked to handle the appeal of Fabio Paolicelli, sentenced to 16 years for smuggling drugs. Paolicelli intially confessed to the crime, and everything seems stacked against the appeal. Guerrieri's reluctance to take on the case is intensified by the fact that he knows Paolicelli, and it is only the intervention of Paolicelli's beautiful wife, Natsu, that finally overcomes Guerrieri's reluctance.
Reasonable Doubts Guido Guerrieri Series Book 3 (Audible Audio Edition) Gianrico Carofiglio Sean Barrett Howard Curtis translator Audible Studios Books
This may be one of the best books of the series and that is certainly not scant praise. The operative word in this book is "reasonable." It seems as though all sides have a reasonable position, the police and the prosecutor who presume that the defendant, Paolicelli, did knowingly transport drugs, the defendant's wife who feels he is innocent, and Guerrieri who has reasons not to take the case but overcomes them nevertheless.Even the fleeting romantic involvement with the exotic Natsu seems inevitable and yes reasonable. The plot develops as is to be expected with enough doubt and tension to keep the reader interested. There is enough character development to make all the players interesting and the outcome is almost anti-climatic. The ghosts of Guerrieri's past are revealed in a manner that flow from the past to the present without seeming melodramatic and I particularly enjoyed the fact that he is the only one suffering from personal angst.
There is just the right about of balance in this book to appeal to the mature discerning reasonable reader.

Reasonable Doubts Guido Guerrieri Series Book 3 (Audible Audio Edition) Gianrico Carofiglio Sean Barrett Howard Curtis translator Audible Studios Books Reviews
I really enjoyed this look into the Italian justice system through the eyes of a fictional hero. It was interesting to understand how it works against the backdrop of the main character's personal life inside italian society. Well constructed and interesting.
Great read..Well written.Great legal thriller.
Beautifully translated from the Italian to present a different take on crime thrillers.
A liitle mystery that kept me reading . Gently ominous in the way only the italians do it . A good read. The narrator is interesting .
I love that Carofiglio doesn't tie everything into a tidy bow. We are allowed to follow the narrator's thoughts but we are not omniscient. Great courtroom drama!
Gianrico Carofiglio writes knowingly and entertainingly about the Italian justice system, with focus on the functioning of courts and the meaning of the law. In "Reasonable Doubts," he presents the relatively straightforward story of a man seemingly set up and convicted for smuggling drugs while on a vacation in a neighboring country with his wife and child. Carofiglio's protagonist, defense lawyer, Guido Guerrieri, is asked to appeal the conviction, but quickly finds that the potential client is a much-hated bully from his own childhood, thereby setting up a conflict of feelings for the attorney -- the pursuit of justice vs. personal prejudice.
While every aspect of "Reasonable Doubts" is colored by Guerrieri's struggle to stay professional in the management of the case, the novel is also a skillfully presented police or legal procedural that reconstructs the basics of the case and ends with a masterful courtroom presentation by protagonist Guerreri.
One big plus for this reader of "Reasonable Doubts" was the relative absence of the all-encompassing cynicism about the Italian justice system that is often part and parcel of other mysteries set in that country. Author Carofiglio, an anti-Mafia prosecutor in Southern Italy, has not lost all confidence in the Italian rule of law.
Overall, this is a well-written and translated novel that respects readers' intelligence and gives them a bit of a challenge. Highly recommended.
This is the third book about attorney Guido Guerrieri and is the most philosophical so far. Guerrieri takes on another impossible case, the representation of Fabio Paolicelli who is appealing a drug smuggling conviction that led to a 16 year prison sentence. Guerrieri is struggling with his own mid-life angst, estrangement from his girlfriend, Margherita, and the grudge he has held, for years, against Paolicelli because of a violent encounter the two men had years earlier when they were both young men in school. Add to the mix, Guerrieri's attraction to and sexual relationship with Paolicelli's beautiful Japanese-Italian wife, Natsu, and you have an emotional stew that will keep the reader transfixed from beginning to end.
I am enjoying Carofiglio's books so much that I have bought the fourth book in the series for my and look forward to another good read.
