Book Review: The Confession by John Grisham


Love John Grisham's novels. As ever this is set in the legal world as well as involving the questions of race and guilt and innocence.

An innocent man is just a few days away from being executed and it turns out that a dying man is actually guilty of the murder. The clock is ticking faster than normal for the innocent man Donte Drumm.

The guilty man is dying of a tumour and he confesses to a priest that he killed the girl Drumm is serving time for. Will the priest be able to travel cross country to the scene of the crime and convince the authorities to stop the execution. The guilty man keeps going AWOL and the priest struggles to keep on track in his quest for justice and to stop the execution.

Will he get there in time? You will just have to read the book!

9/10 for me for this novel.
