Thanks for your review. This sounds like a book that could help us all better understand the background of current events. We all need to understand that there are two sides to every story and that not everyone in a profession or a group of society is good or bad because of the actions of a few.

In reading this review, I began thinking it would be nice if violence, bigotry, etc. could be stopped simply by everyone realizing that there are two sides to everything. So simple, but so hard to obtain. Thank you for your review.

Characterization is very important to make an excellent story, and it sounds like this book makes a good job of it.

Understanding the reason why a crime was committed will help in fixing and preventing further nature of such crime in the future in a good system. Law enforcement officers take a huge risk also in maintaining law and order but the best thing is those good ones must outweigh the bad ones. Very well-written review.

This sounds like a very interesting book, and it sounds like the author could be objective on both sides. This is not normally the genre I would choose to read, but this one intrigues me! I am going to sample it and possibly add it to my want-to-read list. Thank you for the great review!

An awesome crime thriller where criminals get to tell their sides of the story, exhibit their personalities, and lament their struggles.
A must read.
Great review.
Congratulations on Botd 🎉

I usually enjoy reading crime thrillers, but I'm not a fan of those abounding in graphic descriptions of violence. In this case, I like the fact that Konrad is a multi- dimensional character who takes both good and bad decisions. Thanks for your review!

This is a book about a cop and an accused in prison. It talks about the corruption in the system. Congratulations BOTD!

I like that the author tells this story from different perspectives and it is not just one-sided. This is a sensitive topic. This sounds like a very interesting book. I will have to add it to my list. Great review!

I don't typically read books in this genre and generally dislike books related to gangs, but you have made this book sound so interesting and well-done that I might just have to give it a go. Thanks for a wonderful review.

:techie-studyinggray: This is a good crime thriller. As it shares both sides, to read about the two is a new approach. As it's mostly Good cop Vs Bad guys. Great review. Congrats on BOTD!
