I usually read John Grisham because of his typical fast paced law dramas, but my husband had wanted to read this so I thought gave it a try when he was done. This is not your typical Grisham fiction. This was actually based on true story, but still contains the law drama.

The details and the writing are great, but the saga itself is kind drawn out. I understand that human drama can be long and trying but I was getting slightly bored in places.

One of the great things I did get was the ability to compare current law enforcement and forensics that we utilize now that are described in the first stages in this book.

Overall a good read. Not typical Grisham, but still the same great writing.
