The Guardians by John Grisham

2.0

Having a story focus on overturning a conviction is challenging because the events of the crime are all over and done with. The story lacks urgency by it's nature. In order to make that work, your main characters have to just fly off the page and these ones never got off the ground. I genuinely can't remember the main characters name (which is not a good sign) but his background as a former priest who transitioned to a law career should have some legs. It doesn't. This was a slog.
