Great job with this incredibly overwhelming topic made it interesting and informative. I love this book about the criminalization of our justice system with so many innocent lives being completely tossed away through incarceration and the toxicity of jailing the wrong person.

I enjoyed that the main character was inspired by a real person who tries to get innocent people out of jail. And I mean it was also a good book

I love a good legal battle innocence project story!!
Grisham says the inspiration was a different organization, but this book seems to me like a fictionalized version of “Just Mercy”. In no way do I think that’s a bad thing, just my impression. As always, Grisham nails the court room and prison scenes. There’s a lot of action, so character development is a little thin for Grisham, and there are too many characters.
4.5 stars, I really liked this. Jeff and I listened together on a road trip so we had to find something we could agree on and this definitely fit the bill! It was a different enough lawyer story to keep our interest.
A good solid Grisham novel. It has been a minute since I picked one up…and this was immediately available as an audiobook. Very enjoyable!
