Now THIS was a John Grisham book. While nothing may ever top The Firm, I was riveted to this book until I was done. It has a great story. There are not too many plot lines. And the ending comes at a natural pace. I actually checked this one out from the library and had to return it half way through. So the anticipation of the last half of the book built as I waited for my renewal loan. (Yep, I am sometimes too cheep to buy a book. Ha!) I highly recommend this latest from Grisham.
