Very moving book. Led me to find out more about the Innocence Project and get involved.

Great book based on true events!

Really enjoyed reading this book.

What makes this book different is the fact that the lawyers are out to help people who have been wrongfully convicted. Maybe more stories or additions could be put into this to help increase the awareness of this issue. Having said that, the story took a while to develop, but by the end it was a open and shut case and it did have a good ending.

A good read overall.

Easy to read - great flow to the book. An interesting plot, and loosely based on a true story, which makes it an even more addictive to read.

3.5; great characters, story gets heavily romanticized though which deflates a lot of the tension.

2022 Pop Sugar Reading Challenge-a book by an author that you read last year.

This was so good, it was hard to put down. I had one logic problem, but it was pretty small. If there were others I missed them.

Great read. So eye opening on the fact that there are so many wrongly accused people who have and who are currently serving time or even put to death for crimes they did not commit. This book kept me gripping the book as I obsessively read to find out how it would end as the puzzle of information slowly developed showing the full picture.

I wish there were more innocence projects and lawyers digging for the truth. Another good read for Grisham, who once again tells it like it is

This death row theme, again. It wasn't a disappointment, but it is far from the best days when every new book was exciting.
