This book is said to be based on a true story – it could be.Something about it feels that way, but if you’d asked me before I read that piece of info I wouldn’t have guessed. It’s just not real likely, but could easily happen. (So go read it to find out what I mean because it’s a really good book!)

1.   I love legal thrillers or courtroom drama types of books. 
2.  I got so caught up in this that I was unable to do my jigsaw and listen at the same time.  (I’m usually pretty good at that although the puzzles take me along time – lol!)

The story opens with Hannah Rokeby, a single 21-year old, leaving home for law school in Virginia where she wants to do volunteer work for the Innocence Project.  She’s really going there to see if she can prevent the man who ruined her mother’s life from getting out of prison.  The Innocence Project has taken up his case so all she has to do is throw a couple of clinkers into their project to keep the prior conviction stick in the second trial.  

A lot happens in the 9 hours or 300 pages of this novel. 🙂
