oe Moore was convicted of the brutal murder of a young couple behind a club where he'd just finished playing harmonica in a band. Problem is that Joe was so messed up on meth that he doesn't remember anything, but their blood was all over him, and his prints were found on the murder weapon. That was over twenty five years ago and Joe is still in prison. Joe had a praying momma in his corner. She never stopped believing in his innocence or praying for him.

Joe is now not the same man who went into prison. He has a deep faith and an awesome prison ministry where great things are happening.

Joe's family has now hired his attorney to try to set him free from prison. His attorney recently hired a cousin, young Ryan Clark and has him looking into the case. Ryan ends up handling the case as the older attorney had a massive heart attack and it is unsure if he will pull through or even return to the law practice. Ryan has had a rocky start in the law business and is rather unsure of his abilities. His wife has just learned she is pregnant, for which Ryan is overjoyed and also anxious about keeping employment.

I loved how Ryan's wife came to salvation, how they came to attend church, and the Godly women and friends that were put into their lives.

Ryan begins making trips to the prison to meet with Joe and then there is a threat made on Ryan's wife at their home. Another threat was made against Ryan and Joe if Ryan doesn't drop the case. Who doesn't want the truth coming out? What is the truth? Ryan begins to question Joe's guilt as things unfold.

This was an amazing story. A legal thriller with many twists and turns that kept me guessing until the end. I looked forward to having a few minutes to read more of this one. The characters were wonderful. Robert Whitlow is one of my favorite authors.

I was given an advanced ecopy by the publisher, Thomas Nelson through NetGalley. I was under no obligation to leave a positive review. I would give more than five stars if they were available.

Read it twice it was so good! He so good at keeping you guessing what will happen next who is the guilty person really!

"Joe knew it was pointless to argue. Guilt was irrefutable. His presence at the scene. The bloody knife. The fingerprint evidence. The crystal meth in his system. His history of fighting when high. The blood of the victims on his clothes, and worst of all, the photographs of the bodies."

Joe has spent years in prison for murders he doesn't exactly remember committing. When family members insist that a lawyer needs to look at the case, Joe is uncertain. Ryan is fairly new at practicing law, but he is determined to look over all of the details.

In the midst of all of the uncertainty, God is at work. Prisoners are being transformed. Even Ryan's wife is impacted. But the closer that he gets to the truth, the more others try to stop the path of justice.

Reading one of Robert Whitlow's legal fiction titles is like slowly sipping on sweet tea on the front porch. The story unfolds in such an enjoyable way. While this book has some more suspenseful moments, his storylines usually focus on elements of the law.

I listened to this book, and the narrator, Jason Keller, did a great job with the storyline and the characters. I really enjoyed the book and am so glad I got to listen through NetGalley.. All opinions are my own

This was a powerful novel about redemption and freedom from guilt. I thought the Christian message was well presented and I loved how it was both challenging and encouraging.

I enjoyed the dual points of view featuring Ryan the young lawyer, and his client Joe who was in prison. I thought the pacing was excellent and I found myself eagerly turning the pages in order to find out what was going to happen next.

I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review. All opinions expressed are solely my own.

Guilty Until Innocent is a legal drama of a man who is convicted of a double murder he has no recollection of committing. He was a known drug user and his prints were on the murder weapon, so he didn't even question it. But after spending more than two decades in prison, his mother's dying request was to try and get her son out of prison.

I really enjoyed this story from beginning to end. The author has a really fantastic way of interweaving the complexities of the legal system with the depth of brotherhood of men in prison. Especially among those who have repented and given their lives to Christ. The faith element of this story is really well done. From the character whose relationship with the Lord is so deep that his first reaction in all circumstance is how the Lord would have him react or proceed. To the character that their first encounter with God on the pages of the book. This story reveals how God can use even the most unfair, cruel situations in life, for our good and His glory.

If you are a fan of legal thrillers, this book is for you! I look forward to reading more from Robert Whitlow.

I received a complimentary copy of this book through NetGalley. All opinions expressed are my own.
