An okay mystery novel with an important base plot about the injustices in the US legal system. You can tell the author is male based on how he describes women as if they were objects, which really took me out of it at times.
Moderate: Eating disorder and Violence
Minor: Racism
There’s several odd, and unnecessary points in the story where the main character brings up his pension for not eating and describes himself as so thin that his mother and coworkers worry about him. The main character thinks this is a good thing because the less you eat is indirectly correlated with your life expectancy in his eyes. This was a very weird and somewhat irresponsible thing to publish in my opinion, and may be triggering for someone with an ED.reena's review against another edition

So many people sit in prison for crimes they didn't have part in.
This story follows a small nonprofit group known as The Guardian Ministries. Their goals are simple, to help innocent people get out of prison. You follow Cullen Post, the Guardian's main ( and only ) lawyer as he helps their latest innocent cliant, Quincy Miller. A man whos been behind bars for 20+ years for a murder he didn't have part in. Yet, once Post and The Guardian's start digging around, it quickly becomes clear that someone doesn't want this old case reopened. Someone with a lot of awful friends and a whole lot of money.
I would have never checked this book out, but it was the months pick for my bookclub. In all, I enjoyed the book. It was a good story, with a lot of twists and turns. However, I did have a hard time with the amount of characters. I never really lost track of our main characters, but there was so many small ones that I often found myself having no idea who the book was really talking about. That and I don't feel like the main character really got into any REAL danger? It would have been nice to have some heart pounding drama, but most of the heat comes in the courtroom. Which really isn't a surpirse since its John Grisham, so I can't be to upset over it.
