Search - Conviction

This legal thriller is long on legal and short on thrill. If you read Supreme Court opinions all the way through, you're probably getting more action and suspense than you can expect from this one. But if you go in for jury duty hoping you'll get chosen, this is the book for you.

I have mixed feelings on this book. While it does provide a thoughtful, heart-wrenching view on capital punishment, I thought the story itself could use some trimming. This book could have a used a good editor to cut out some of the excess that was not necessary. Overall it was okay.

This book is jampacked with surprises. Have enjoyed each time I have read it.

It's been several years since I read tis book. RNP is one of my favorite authors. He never backs down from the hard questions.

The story here is heartbreaking. The legal maze and the attempts of the protagonist to right a terrible wrong kept me involved and caring.

The ending is disturbing and satisfying at the same time.

I read a lot of books. To have remembered this so clearly is a sign of what a good book it is.

This book wore me out! If you like detail-oriented books, this ones for you. Me, I like all of the fat trimmed, just leaving the "meat" of a story. It also made me a little nauseous, reading about the politics that come into play when judges, prosecutors, govenors, etc. are deciding the fate of someone on death row. Guilt or innocence appears to matter little , rather what message their decision will send to their constituents.

Heart wrenching, suspense building.
