I like to read all kinds of books, Christian, non-Christian, thriller, mystery, some romance (not too much!), kid's books, and so on, but I don't usually read horror stories. Until this week. The Innocent Man was truly a HORROR STORY. And the scariest part of it is that it's a TRUE story. It's been described as "a page-turning legal thriller," "a triumph," "a gritty, harrowing true-crime story," and "a legal thriller every bit as suspenseful and fast-paced as his best-selling fiction." I could not believe such horrible happenings could go on in the U.S.A., but apparently they do! I won't go into the story, but if you want to read it, beware, it's a HORROR STORY and will leave you HORRIFIED!I need a calm, sweet story after this! How about The Pink House, by Nelia Gardner White? Sounds calm and sweet enough - we'll see!

Hey, Mike here.
I read that too! And it WAS a horror story. Finding out that there are a surprising number of wrongly convicted people sitting in prison right now is scarier than any fiction available.
We are proud of our court and justice system but it is not without blemish. Sadly, if a politician tries to get more money so indigent clients can have a good legal defense, that politician will be labeled not "tough enough" on criminals and will be out on his ear next election.
It was a fascinating read.
