Book reviews added in the week of 10/26-11/1

Hi all,

Multiple links to full-length professional reviews of the following
books released in the US have been added to http://www.reviewsofbooks.com
in the last week:

"The Confession" by John Grisham - In "The Confession," Travis Boyette
has been paroled from prison in Kansas and he suffers from an
inoperable brain tumor. Travis approaches a local minister, Keith
Schroeder, with his dilemma. Nine years earlier, Travis raped and
killed a cheerleader in Texas, burying her body which hasn't ever been
found. The state of Texas, though, convicted a football player, Donte
Drumm, of the girl's murder and he's about to be executed. Donte
confessed to the crime after being beaten by police, the prosecutors
are convinced they have the right man, and the governor routinely
ignores requests for clemency. Travis and Keith head to Texas, in
violation of his parole, to try to save the innocent Donte from being
executed. John Grisham's novel has received mostly positive reviews
with USA Today saying, "Grisham is the master of the legal thriller.
Readers who share his views as well as those sitting on the fence will
find much to love and lament in the tragic story of Donte Drumm."

"Moonlight Mile" by Dennis Lehane - "Moonlight Mile" is a sequel to
Dennis Lehane's 'Gone, Baby, Gone.' In that earlier novel, private
detectives Patrick Kenzie and Angela Gennaro found the missing four-
year-old Amanda McCready and returned her to her drug-addicted
mother. Twelve years later, Patrick and Angela are married with their
own four-year-old daughter. Amanda has lived a promising life,
despite her maternal problems, and is a top student at a prep school
with the Ivy League in her future. Except she has gone missing again,
and Patrick and Angela are asked to find her once more. Although this
time, she could have disappeared by choice, although her connection to
foreign gangsters doesn't bode well either. Dennis Lehane's novel has
received positive reviews with the USA Today saying, "'Moonlight Mile'
is everything that Lehane readers have come to expect: a tight story
filliped with unexpected turns, delivered in prose that goes down
easily. Compulsively readable, the duo at its heart is well worth
spending time with."
