You already know that if you have found yourself here.
We are getting closer and closer to our 800th book review, and one of the best legal fiction writers around is without a doubt John Grisham, and he may be THE best.
We've admired his work since The Firm. The "Also by John Grisham" page in the front of the book is like a greatest hit list that most authors never achieve.
This is the first time we've formally reviewed a John Grisham book, and we are thrilled to tell you he has lost none of his steam and the eloquence of The Guardians is only equaled by the thought and research behind it-go on to the Author's Note and Inspiration at the conclusion.
This book is a perfect balance between relaxing reading, yet not too relaxing because it is in no way low caliber or "dumbed down" like a lot of works of fiction have become today. It's high level full of intriguing characters that charm you from the pages that gripped our readers to the hilt. The Guardian is a page turner, and if you are interested in justice, it's a must-read.
Thought provoking topics such as what would qualify one as a legal expert surface as the plot unfolds, and if you are a book group this will provide for beaucoup de discussion.

In the small Florida town of Seabrook, a young lawyer named Keith Russo was shot dead at his desk as he worked late one night. The killer left no clues. There were no witnesses, no one with a motive. But the police soon came to suspect Quincy Miller, a young black man who was once a client of Russo’s.
Quincy was tried, convicted, and sent to prison for life. For twenty-two years he has languished in prison, maintaining his innocence. But no one was listening. He had no lawyer, no advocate on the outside. In desperation, he writes a letter to Guardian Ministries, a small nonprofict run by Cullen Post, a lawyer who is also an Episcopal minister.
Guardian accepts only a few innocence cases at a time. Cullen Post travels the country fighting wrongful convictions and taking on clients forgotten by the system. With Quincy Miller, though, he gets far more than he’s bargained for. Powerful, ruthless people murdered Keith Russo, and they do not want Quincy Miller exonerated.
They killed one lawyer twenty-two years ago, and they will killl another without a second thought.
