The Guardians by John Grisham

fast-paced

5.0

It's been a while since I've read a Grisham, and this was like coming back to an old friend. His centering of the legal side of things isn't for everyone, but I eat it up. The "justice" system in this country needs a complete dismantling and rebuilding, and this based-on-reality novel really highlights that. The sham of a trial, the sham of 'evidence' and 'experts' during a trial, the racism still existent in many people. My first book of Grisham's was The Innocent Man: Murder and Injustice in a Small Town, and it's what made me fall in love with his writing. This was really reminiscent of that.
Bless Jim McCloskey and Centurion Ministries for their work.
