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.
