SRP 2011 REVIEW: Once again Grisham has a rivetting book. Not too crazy about all the references to rape and murder, but it is realistic and hold your attention.

SRP 2011 REVIEW: This is a fascinating, and moving, examination of the death penalty as well as the issue of guilt vs. innocence. When a man confesses to committing a murder, is he too late to stop the wheels of justice from killing an innocent man? And do the wheels of justice actually work for justice? Perhaps they're more for legal purposes than the men they are to be protecting. To me, Grisham's novels get better and better as he examines legal issues and brings in Christian tenets very subtly on the side.
