Not a usual fan of true-life criminal stories. However, this book gave a glimpse into the game of 'who done it' by members of the legal community. This showed the horrific abuse of justice in order to find the individual(s) who murdered…

Callous is an adjective, not a verb. This story is pretty tedious, but still worth reading if you aen't already familiar with the truth about our legal justice system which is anything but just in too many cases; there are far too many…

With Grisham's first foray into non-fiction, not for the faint of heart. Which brought about litigation against him, and others, seeking to shine light on the darkness created by miscarriages of justice. A sleepy small town in Oklahoma,…

This is a story of injustice which we all hear way too often. This book got really boring midway through. Good read, but I've read better true crime novels.

Beginning had a ton of redundancy which was hard to get through but then the rest of the book flowed a little more smoothly. Had to keep reminding myself it was a true story. It was a bit difficult to follow sometimes because there were…

This true story is so well written! I have a great respect for the talents of John Grisham. Can't wait to read another one.

This was a salutary read. Sadly this is non fiction. What an indictment of life in Small Town America.

I have read several Grisham novels, and this is the first one I have had difficulty maintaining my focus and interest...it's not the story itself, it's the absence of dialogue and the style in which it was written. There are so many…

Disappointing - could only do the first 60 pgs of the BORING chronicle of minutiae on the life of one of the suspects. When Grisham used the same technique on the second suspect, I gave up.

I kept getting angry as I was reading this, it was hard to believe what the police did and the lawyers. I enjoyed this book anyway. I wonder if I had been on that jury if I would've sent those people to death row on such scanty evidence

Could not finish. No real plot. Redundant.

John Grisham's best book. A true story of an innocent man behind bars. (Non fiction collection)
