The Conviction Review an investigative team that overturns convictions and frees the innocent. Elke Lawrence has never been happier in her job as the head of the Conviction Review Unit. But when her younger brother comes to her in fear for his life because he’s been selling drugs for her locked-up ex-husband, Elke is completely thrown. She has to save her brother, and she can’t allow him to suffer for her ex-husband’s sins. But she can hardly concentrate at work. The new case she’s picked out, a young man who’s accused of killing his girlfriend, doesn’t seem to want to unravel. Everyone else, including the other members of the CRU, think he’s actually guilty. Elke won’t give up on the case, though, and she won’t give up on her brother. Even if her holding on leads to gunshots on a cold winter night and blood in the snow.
V. J. Chambers writes about being inexplicably attracted to the dangerously alluring. Her works span mundane settings and fantastic ones. She writes about serial killers, cult leaders, werewolves, witches, for-hire assassins, zombies, space pirates, and regular everyday people.
She lives in Shepherdstown, WV, with her boyfriend Aaron and their cat Isis.
This is the 2nd book in the series I have read and I can't wait for number 3 I like the characters in the unit and love the fact that they work to prove innocence or injustice This Innocence Unit is definitely coming together to make a great series
This is what I have come to expect from V.J. Chambers: interesting characters, a good solid plot, and good writing. The follow-up to GRAIN OF TRUTH is better than its predecessor, and I'd recommend it to anyone who likes mystery/thrillers.
I really enjoy this series.The characters are interesting & quirky.The plots are tight & the developing subplots both build & enhance the stories. I hope to see more of this cold case unit!
Liked this book better than the first one. I thought the story was really good. I didn’t know who did it until they did. The characters are developing well. Really enjoying the series
I love this & I can't wait for more. I will be also leaving a review on Goodreads @ Amazon. And letting everyone know about it. So i gave it a 5 Stars.
