The Confession by Robert Whitlow
"Fans of John Grisham will find much to like here." —Library Journal
Confession is good for the soul, but it could mean death to an ambitious young lawyer.
Assistant DA Holt Douglas has made a career of getting confessions from criminals. With a confession in hand, he knows a guilty plea is soon to follow.
In the midst of professional success, Holt is haunted by a secret—a lie he buried in the grave of his best friend. Holt’s crime is hidden from all eyes—family, friends, police, and his soon-to-be fiancé.
But the truth has a way of coming back to life.
With obsessive prosecutorial zeal, Holt reopens a cold case involving the death of the town’s wealthiest citizen. The man’s death was ruled a suicide, but Holt suspects murder. Facing fierce opposition, he is determined to expose the killer. Holt slowly begins to unravel the facts.
And comes face-to-face with his own guilty conscience.
With his job, his relationship with the woman he loves, and his future at risk, Holt skirts the boundary between truth and lies, confession
and hypocrisy, redemption and ruin. Can he survive long enough to finally make the right choice?
“Readers will find plenty to love about this suspenseful novel as they watch its appealing main character juggle personal, professional, and spiritual crisis with a combination of vulnerability and strength.” —CBA Retailers and Resources, regarding The Living Room

I'm about a third of the way through "The Confession" and have decided not to give it any more time. It's boring...there's nothing happening. The most intriguing part has been the prologue...it was a good hook to pull me in but after that there hasn't been anything to hold me. There's a lot of description of what's occurring but the author isn't giving me insight into what the characters are thinking, at least not beyond the obvious. It also comes across as a bit juvenile. I've read some YA books where the teens had more interesting thoughts than the adults in this book! Too much description on people's height, for one thing. The last thing I read was the sheriff's deputy, Trish(with her own date), after running into the ADA in a restaurant, observed his own date and "was surprised how short she was". We, of course, were already told how model-like tall Trish is. Too much comparing of bodies...not necessary and very juvenile. I try to finish books but life is too short for boring books.
The cover says "Bestselling Author" so I may give an earlier book of Whitlow's a try.

Robert Whitlow returns to his roots with his latest character-driven legal thriller The Confession. After giving us a couple of novels that stretched both him and his readers, it's nice to see Whitlow get back to a well-told legal story that is easily on par with some of his best works.
Years ago, Holt Douglas made a mistake -- and his best friend died. Holt lied at the time and has been carrying around that guilt since that time. But you wouldn't know it from looking at Holt's life today. He's an assistant DA in a rural Georgia county whose star is on the rise, he's dating a successful and beautiful business-woman and he's got a nice home complete with a friendly, lovable dog. But when a cold case is left on his desk, Holt begins to put his personal and professional future on the line as he begins to do a bit of digging into a mysterious death in the town's history.
To help him dig into the past, Holt asks Deputy Trish Carmichael to delve a bit into the details of the cold case. Like Holt, Trish is dealing with some issues from her past that are clouding her present. And she's also got a bit of a crush on Holt, which could be holding her back from a potential new boyfriend in her life, Keith.
Whitlow weaves the stories of Holt and Trish together in a believable way, allowing both of them to have their strengths and weaknesses. Holt can be a bit short sighted -- having a quick bite with Trish to discuss the case away from their offices sets the small-town gossip-mill to spinning and creates complications for the two of them. Whitlow played with this reader's expectations, zigging when I expected him to zag and not allowing the story or the characters to become predictable. And while the novel doesn't necessarily end on a cliffhanger, I having a feeling that Whitlow plans to visit these characters again in the near future.
As with all of Whitlow's work, the characters ring true and feel authentic. Holt's journey is a believable one and it's nice to see a Christian author who allows his characters to be nuanced and have shadings to them both before and after they're saved. It's also nice to see that those who start the novel in the fold (as it were) have flaws and foible as well and that becoming a Christian doesn't miraculously cure all the ails facing these characters. Trish faces problems of bitterness and unforgiveness related to the death of her father and her mother being crippled after a wreck with a drunk driver. And her struggle between the man who is interested in her and her crush on Holt is nicely played since Whitlow makes Keith (her suitor) out to be a nice man and he's not put in there as an obstacle to she and Holt getting together.
Whitlow is one an author who has long been on my "must read" list and any new offering is immediately put on the to-be-read list. For the most part, his books don't stay there long.
The Confession is among his best.

Another good read from Robert Whitlow.

October 1, 2016 I have enjoyed any book I've read by Robert Whitlow so far. This one deals with the effects secrets and deceptions from the past can have on your life years later. Knowing you killed someone in an accident and then didn't come completely clean about it would be tough to deal with. There is a lot of spiritual growth and change in one of the characters, and the ending was not totally predictable, which I appreciated. Sometimes I figure out who did something halfway through the book, and it wasn't until right before it was revealed that I figured out part of this one. The mystery and the spiritual lesson in this book are both good I have enjoyed any book I've read by Robert Whitlow so far.

This was my first Robert Whitlow book. It was very well written and kept me thinking what was the next step in the story. One I couldn't figure out. The story was believable with enough reality in it to keep the reader hooked. I appreciated the ending. James Scott Bell has a similar style and I've enjoyed his stories too.

It was hard to follow the characters ... they went from being a 'mom' to be called 'Marge' or some such thing. Too many characters. Plot develops slowly. Kept thinking it'd get better but halfway through I still wasn't engaged.
Not characteristic of the masterful writer Robert Whitlow. He usually has more suspense, and less run-around. I'll keep reading all his books though!

I checked out the audiobook from my local library. I gave up on the book at 70%. Worst narrator ever, and checking out a book from "fiction" when it obviously should have been under "christian fiction" annoys the crap out of me. If you're going to preach to me, I want to see it coming.

Didn’t realize until part way through the book that this came from the “christian” section of the library. I am not a religious person by any means and don’t follow any specific line of religion (or how those forms have interpreted the various “religion/belief” based texts). However, I was raised the right way and know right from wrong…didn’t need a church to help with that.
The novel itself has a fairly basic and easy to figure out “murder mystery” and the central story, but focuses more on the internal struggles many of the characters have to “do the right thing”, coming to terms with wrongs they have committed in their past, letting go of personal grudges and growth of their personal being as they make these improvements in themselves. I feel the same could have been accomplished with a less “preachy” approach. The story did flow well and was easy to “feel” for the various characters and hope for good outcomes for them. Some people that pick up this book without prior knowledge that it is christian based may get their backs up and stop reading just for that reason…but if they can just let the “religious based aspect” of the story slide by, they will still find the novel to be a good read. They may even take a second look at how they may have handled past situations, how they view or treat other people, or what may be happening behind the scenes in other peoples lives for them to act or react the way they do…rather than go through life with preconceived notions of people and events that they encounter.

The prologue hooked me, and let us know what secret Holt is keeping. Then it jumps in time, and Holt is now the assistant DA in a small town. Even though I knew what his secret was I liked him and enjoyed following his day to day life. A cold case comes across Holt's desk and something about it bothers him, so he begins digging to find out more details. This reveals secrets that have been kept hidden, but what's the right way to deal with it? I enjoyed how Bishop Pennington befriended Holt even though he didn't attend his church. He provided Holt a listening ear and pointed him to God. I wasn't a fan of Trish's character, she had a crush on Holt even though she was a Christian and he wasn't, and she was also seeing someone. The fact that Holt shared his secret to someone who was practically a stranger felt unrealistic. Holt's secret is revealed but the question is how will it affect the life he had made and how will he respond? The focus of the story is forgiveness. There isn't a ton of action in this one it seemed more like regular life. I thought I knew where it was going to go relationship wise but I was pleasantly surprised that it didn't and prefer the way it went.

One of his better books, dealing with what it really means to have a clear conscience, with a good mystery to boot.

Intricately woven plot, clean, interesting and lots of twists. Narrator is becoming one of my favorites.

Robert Whitlow in his new book, “The Confession” published by Thomas Nelson takes us into the life of Holt Douglas.

With obsessive prosecutorial zeal, Holt reopens a cold case involving the death of the town’s wealthiest citizen. The man’s death was ruled a suicide, but Holt suspects murder. Facing fierce opposition, he is determined to expose the killer. Holt slowly begins to unravel the facts.
And comes face-to-face with his own guilty conscience.
With his job, his relationship with the woman he loves, and his future at risk, Holt skirts the boundary between truth and lies, confession and hypocrisy, redemption and ruin. Can he survive long enough to finally make the right choice?
Suspense and intrigue abound in this new thriller by Robert Whitlow. I wasn’t sure exactly how Mr. Whitlow was going to get this going but he has a way of drawing you into the story and keeping you there, willingly I might add. Holt Douglas is an Assistant D.A. that is a hard liner when it comes to criminals. That’s because of an incident with his best friend that lies hidden in the grave. It all starts to come out when he pursues a cold case. The Confession is full of mystery and even romance. In The Confession there are so many twists and turns that you will be amazed at the outcome of the story. Robert Whitlow has written an interesting story that moves along at a remarkably brisk pace. “The Confession” is full of interesting characters that keep us involved in the story. “The Confession” is a powerful story and one that will keep you highly interested and flipping pages as fast as you can. I liked this book and recommend it to your reading list.

I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die. But it's okay, his family forgave me. Also, if you have a deep, dark secret, don't tell it to someone you just met. The plot is full of generally idiotic and unlikeable characters. But it's okay, they all forgave themselves. (Forgiveness is a BIG theme in this book.)
May 12, 2017
Another winner from Robert Whitlow. Partly about doing the right thing from the wrong motives, the main characters again go through the whole range of emotions before discovering that grace and mercy are more important than justice.
April 16, 2021
This is a Christian legal thriller, though perhaps thriller is the wrong word. It's laid back--a small town "cozy" legal thriller, and while things took time to get going, we got a good view of our characters and setting.
I'm giving this 4.5 stars--I thought the relationships would turn out differently (no spoilers) but I'm not sure if that was a problem with the writing or just me wanting a different outcome. The legal / courtroom stuff seemed really spot-on--dotted with the minutiae of what real courtroom life must be like--traffic tickets alongside bigger, darker mysteries.
The ending satisfied me, and I really liked the way the Christian theme was woven into the story, not just copy / pasted in. Real repentance is illustrated here. And we get glimpses into the church life of two very different traditions.
Not my usual genre, but it kept my attention!

I guess I am in the minority because I did not enjoy this book. This is not a legal thriller book, but a forgiveness book where everything is resolved with a happy ending for everyone involved. The biblical references and lessons where sprinkled throughout in random places.
To me there were too many characters that were introduced but did not have a lot of involvement in the plot. As to plot...there was one big one but too many side shows to keep me engaged. I did not like the Trish Carmichael character as she came off as a Christian full of hypocrisy. The book became interesting in Chapter 40, but the major plot was resolved too quickly, too easily, and with fairy tale endings. It was similar to a Hallmark Channel movie.

A Robert Whitlow fan
I have read several of this authors books and loved every one of them. In my opinion he is one of the great storytellers. If I could have. I would have rated it 4.5 stars. This book is about Holt, an assistant DA. in a rural county. The reason I didn't give it five stars is because the story, to me, was a little convoluted. There was trouble with Holt's job, with his dog, with his girlfriend, with some of the backwoods politics. To me, it was on the verge of being too much. But having said that, I'm a big Robert Whitlow fan and recommend him to anyone who listens. You can't beat his story telling.

This was an exceptional read - full of face paced, changing dialogue and intrigue. In the beginning, there are almost two focal personalities - one the stronger Christian, in some ways, the other a searcher of sorts. But, their roles shift and change, and one is shown to be a weaker vessel - which I'm not so certain that I liked. And, the wrap-up seems to abrupt - no epilogue to tie it all together; and, maybe that opens the door for another volume with similar / same characters.

Robert Whitlow is a master! He always shows the spiritual dimension in his books, which gives his books an extra layer of depth.
This story is more simple than most of his other books, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. There are enough twists to surprise. By the end you can see God's hand in the characters' lives even though it's hard to discern from the beginning (like in real life).
I am recommending The Confession to friends and family.

Robert Whitlow is an excellent writer and The Confession is a great story with many twists and turns in the plot and excellent characters. I guess I wanted the ending to go a different way romantically which is why I gave it a four. He will keep you on the edge of your seat trying to figure out what actually happened. I was very satisfied with the conclusion of the murder mystery, I loved the way it was concluded.
January 9, 2026
I always give only 1 star if I can’t finish a book for some reason. This book is long, drawn out…we hear all about what they are having for lunch and dinner, and what the preacher is preaching that Sunday, but not a whole lot about the confession or the murder. I would like to know how it ends, but I just can’t endure the drivel I have to wade through to get there. I am listening to the audio version. Maybe the book would be better so that you can skip through all the unnecessary info.

A Good Read
I liked the twists in the plot and the underlying truth the novel presented. However, the excessive attention given to mundane details and non essential conversations made it a longer read than necessary. It did establish a small town feeling, but it was a bit much. It was still a great read.

This is the second of Robert Whitlow's books I've read. This one had a good balance between character and plot. There were some twists and turns both in the plot as well as the relationships among the characters, which made for a great read. The ending was very satisfying, bringing full closure to all the questions that the story opened.

Never Disappointed
I've read many books by Robert Whitlow over the years and I've never been disappointed in his story. He is one of a handful of authors whose books I have a hard time putting down. From the very first page he draws me into his story. The only disappointment I have is when the story ends I want to keep learning more about his characters.

My second book by Robert Whitlow and it was just as good as the first one! I read this book in two days! This story is about a young assistant district attorney that made a bad decision 10 years previous and has come to rear its ugly head. God has always had a plan and it's great to see just how it all plays out with all its twists and turns. Enjoy!

Gripping read!
It was hard for me to put this book down....I needed to though life happens. I only put It down 3 times, so i did get through it quickly. Had to. It was THAT good.
It was like watching a movie and only pausing for a snack or commercial.
It is a great book. With a really great story line. Hope you like it as much as i did.

Great novel
Robert Whitlow is a great author and I have really enjoyed reading his novels. His stories grip your attention from the first to the last page with characters that are well developed. He writes clean fiction that proves a great novel relies on solid research and well developed writing skills and not on smutt and sex.

Confession is good for the soul
I am never disappointed in Whitlow's books. This is no exception. He begins with several broken people that need spiritual healing. The plot winds it's way to bring it about, but not before leading the reader down blind alleys. There is good character development. Not everyone turns out the way the reader thinks they will. Surprises are good.
