Gaining limelight after the success of its movie adaptation by the name of Shawshank Redemption, this novella is worth a read. This book ticks all the right boxes when it comes to this genre as it is an exceptionally well-crafted story that will make you keep guessing till the last moment. It follows the story of a banker who has been imprisoned for the murder of his wife and her lover although he claims to be innocent and the tremulous 20 years in the prison thereafter.
