The topic was super interesting. A non-profit organizing that works to exonerate innocent prisoners, a 20+ year old murder case, and insight on the criminal and socio-political factors that led to the man's arrest in the first place. Unfortunately, this is just not my type of book, which is why I gave it 3 stars.

📚A true Grisham work of art.

✍️ A legal thriller that tackles issues like wrongful imprisonment and flawed legal systems. As a big Grisham fan, this being the 31st book of his that I've read, I was not disappointed.
It reminds us to cherish our freedom and the little joys in life. This book is not just about justice gone wrong, but also about hope and redemption, urging us to appreciate our lives more.📚
