MY REVIEW:
A copy of Harry
Lane is Innocent was sent to Confessions of a Reviewer by the author J
Scaddon in exchange for an honest review. This is said review.
Anyone who visits the blog regularly will know I love to
discover new authors. Jamie Scaddon is name I am sure many of you will not be
familiar with. I certainly wasn’t when he sent me an email to see if I would
like to review this one. It is certainly not my normal first pick for a book
but something drew me to it. I liked the sound of it and decided to give it a
go. It took me a while to get to it. I wish it hadn’t.
Harry Lane is twenty-three years old although he has the
mind of a six-year-old. He is a gentle giant that is always out to please
people, no matter who they are.
His dad has asked him to run an errand for him one dark
night. In 1940’s London this involves a long walk. Harry decides to cut through
a park. He likes to watch the wildlife in it.
He stumbles across an altercation between a drunk man and
a young lady. She has been stabbed and Harry tries to help. She unfortunately
dies and Harry has been accused of her murder.
This starts the process of questioning and a trial. For
Harry it is daunting and confusing as his mind doesn’t understand what is
happening. For his family, it looks like the end for Harry.
