“The Confession,” by John Grisham

I have been a John Grisham fan since “The Firm” even before they made it an outstanding movie. John’s ear for dialogue and the setting up of dramatic scenes is without peer in my opinion. The latest in a long line of fine novels “The Confession” will not disappoint anyone, fan or not. The plot is developed around the abduction and murder of a high school cheerleader. Race should not be an issue in the commission of such a crime, but we all know human nature, and no one knows it better than Grisham, so it does become an issue. Add to that issue a paroled sex offender with a long FOUND HERE! rap sheet who is dying of brain cancer and wants to confess to the crime. Did I mention that the novel takes place in Texas? Now we have all the makings for an excellent work written by one of the best novelists of his time. VILLAGER STAFF DIRECTORY John Grisham allows the reader to ponder many issues in “The Confession”.
