The Confession by John Grisham

Lynnie

contemporary fiction

It's been a long time since I've read a book by John Grisham. The Confession is a fascinating story about race, injustice, the death penalty and its implications. Obviously, Grisham had an agenda in this story (as he often does), but it doesn't make the story any less interesting as it plays out. The first half of the book was very engaging as the race is on to free an innocent man from death row. The second half of the story is dealing with the ramifications of whether or not they were successful and the lack of urgency certainly slows the pace of the book.

We listened to most of this book on a roadtrip (thank goodness for
audiobooks!) and the narrator does a great job of keeping the pace of the story and differentiating the characters from one another.

Overall it's exactly what I expected from a John Grisham book.
