The cover is exactly how I would expect a true crime book to look. It's very stark and yet draws you in.
Richard Glossip is on death row for a murder he didn't commit. He's been accused of master minding the murder but he swears he's innocent. This is his case and the battle to keep him from dying told by journalist Ian Woods.
There was so much information about executions that I never knew. Especially the information about the drugs and the challenge getting hold of them.
The plot was powerful and often quite sad. I wish the story had a more substantial ending but it was still worth the read and really explained the process of appeal.
Richard is an interesting character and you can't help but feel for him. I'm not totally convinced on his guilt or innocence either way. Ian is very honest in his telling and open with his own mistakes. An interesting, thought provoking and powerful read.
