The Confession by John Grisham
An innocent man is days from execution. Only a guilty man can save him. Travis Boyette is a murderer. In 1998, in the small East Texas city of Sloan, he abducted, raped, and strangled a popular high-school cheerleader. He buried her body so that it would never be found, then watched and waited as police and prosecutors arrested Donte Drumm.
Grisham has come up with yet another near-flawless plot.. **** * Mirror *
John Grisham is of course celebrated for his brilliant legal thrillers and in that field he has few equals -- Barry Forshaw * Daily Express *
The Confession is an airing for the beliefs of the author, but it is also a page-turner. Grisham is careful never to preach ... he never forgets his primary purpose which is to entertain ... Grishamites will find all their buttons pressed. -- Barry Forshaw * Independent *
The Confession is a campaigning novel, attacking the death penalty and a way of doing justice (with a malign nexus of thuggish cops, supine judges and officials elected on promises of being hard on crime) that Texas epitomises ... another engrossing, teeming portrait of the Deep South. -- John Dugdale * Sunday Times *
Grisham's storytelling genius reminds us that when it comes to legal drama, the master is in a league of his own. -- Shari Low * Daily Record *
