What the critics say

Grisham has come up with yet another near-flawless plot... ****
- Mirror

John Grisham is of course celebrated for his brilliant legal thrillers and in that field he has few equals
- Daily Express

The Confession is a campaigning novel, attacking the death penalty and a way of doing justice (with a malign nexus of thuggish cops, supine judges and officials elected on promises of being hard on crime) that Texas epitomises ... another engrossing, teeming portrait of the Deep South.
- Sunday Times

The format of The Confession may be slow-burn thriller but it is in fact a devastating indictment of so-called justice in the Deep South...This is education and entertainment of the highest order.
- Evening Standard

A masterful storyteller...The Confession stands out as one of the best novels of the year, certainly in this genre, and one of the author's best novels...Brilliant, gripping, superbly written, this is classic Grisham and can stand proudly with the best of his novels.

...another great read from Grisham and a welcome return after what seems like a long break.
