Funtastic Fridays: The Confession

I just finished reading John Grisham's The Confession. I simply could not put it down. It was a roller coaster ride that had my heart racing and my blood boiling throughout. Travis Boyette is a serial rapist and murderer. Donte Drumm is a young man days away from being executed for one of Boyette's crimes. The Confession takes you on a thrilling journey as Boyette races the clock to convince the Texas justice system that they are about to kill the wrong man. Five stars in my book!
