I enjoy reading most all of Grisham's titles, but this is one of my all-time favorites! In 2018 alone, 9 innocent people were exonerated in the USA. Gave up about page 220.

This book shows us all the difficulties of this work, good and bad moments and courage of people doing it. 6 of 10 starsThis is a legal thriller that I could not put down and typical of some of the previous John Grisham novels that he is known for.

The main character is a former trial lawyer, who enters the seminary, and specializes in exonerating the wrongfully convicted, especially death row inmates. We’d love your help. This was an informative fictional account of a non-profit organization that advocates for and exonerates prisoners who have been wrongly convicted of a crime they did not commit.

Just a moment while we sign you in to your Goodreads account. Did I mention that I didn’t like this book? Powerful, ruthless people murdered Keith Russo, and they do not want Quincy exonerated.They killed one lawyer twenty-two years ago, and they will kill another one without a second thought.Welcome back. Well, in The Guardians he replies in a way which will shut the naysayers up pretty damn quickly; here he is back to his barnstorming best, and I will undoubtedly be adding this to my favourite reads of 2019. Start by marking “The Guardians” as Want to Read: In the United States, the Innocence Project has branches in many States. Revisiting witnesses who may have perjured themselves and a prosecutor who sought blood, Post finds new hope for a man who had all but given up. Cullen Post is a lawyer and a preacher, or rather he used to be a preacher but these days his efforts are fully focussed on trying to get innocent people out of prison. , while newer (...In the small north Florida town of Seabrook, a young lawyer named Keith Russo was shot dead at his desk as he worked late one night. As a lawyer and prosecutor in the South I can truthfully say that this book might be the most inflammatory, untruthful treatment of the criminal justice system and the people who work to put guilty criminals behind bars that I have ever read. There are many wrongly convicted people in jails and to get them out is an extremely hard work. I had to keep a notebook where I listed the characters as they were introduced so I could halfway remember who was who.It has become one of my annual late Fall rituals. Educated Post has a bare bones staff in Savannah, Georgia, and six active files that require his help. However, though Grisham does offer insight into the prison system and the story he outlines is probably and tragically not unrealistic, I just couldn't get into it. Enter Guardian Ministries, headed up by Cullen Post. With Quincy Miller, though, he gets far more than he bargained for. I have read most of John Grisham's novels so was really looking forward to this one. I must preface my review by saying that I have read every John Grisham book going back to A Time to Kill in 1989, and looking back, his books definitely played a part in my choosing a career in the legal field, so I adore John Grisham in an almost crazed fan-girl way lol That being said, though, The Guardians just didn't grab me in the same way the majority of Grisham's other books have done. Though I wouldn’t mind him turning it into a series. Civilized people demand retribution, particularly when a crime is heinous. Post comes by the garb honestly, being both priest and investigative lawyer, his Guardian Ministries devoted to freeing inmates who have been wrongly imprisoned. We follow him as he works on a number of cases, primarily concerning two men imprisoned for murders Post is convinced they didn’t commit.2.5 stars - I really wanted to love this book but the first half felt like I was a wrongly convicted prisoner sentenced to monotony and boredom.2.5 stars - I really wanted to love this book but the first half felt like I was a wrongly convicted prisoner sentenced to monotony and boredom.This is one of the best John Grisham books I’ve read in quite some time! I realize exceptions exist but to indict the whole system based on one corrupt prosecutor or a corrupt sheriff is unfair, unrealistic and undermines the integrity of the entire criminal justice system. The novel explores the particulars of death row inmates who feel that their innocence has been ignored as the system chewed them up and spat them out. For twenty-two years he languished in prison with no lawyer, no advocate on the outside. A murdered lawyer. Goodreads helps you keep track of books you want to read. The killer left no clues behind. There are a lot of things brought to light, such as "snitches" bribed into testifying for prosecutors, harassment of expert witnesses and the questionable analysis of blood stains by so-called experts with no real forensic background. However, there is a killer out there, someone who is surely not keen on having the truth of the Keith Russo murder uncovered. Oh wI am sadly in the minority of readers who did not care for this book, which is disappointing because I was excited to read it. 0385544189 What if an innocent is paying the cost of another's penalty?

The more I read the more I enjoyed it and I was aware that my initial rating was changing.A deftly written and thought-provoking book that will stick with you long after the last page is turned.
