This is by far the worst book I've read by Mr Grisham, and definitely my last. I've found his books to have become progressively worse (I've read 6 or 7). "The Summons" lacks any form of suspense. The characters are one-dimensional, there is no character development, and the plot is as thin as they come. The (lack of) conclusion is laughable.Please Mr Grisham, only write when you have an original idea, and can succeed in developing that idea into a story.
