This book seems like something Grisham whipped together in a week to release just before the Christmas season last year. Granted it worked out wonderfully for him, another #1 bestseller, but this is a short one-day read, nothing groundbreaking.Grisham fans will likely pick this one up, but what you get for what you pay is a tragedy. At 176 pages this one may never see the light of paperback. It's not a bad book by any means, but certainly not the most stimulating.
