Like other reviewers, I was very disappointed with this very predictable "formula" book from John Grisham, who has certainly lost his edge, teaming up with unknown writers. The book dragged on and on and I found myself unabsorbed and uncaring about the outcome, which I could have predicted from page one. I managed to plow my way through the book, not really caring about the characters or the plot. The first fifty pages were the only ones worth reading and the book finished the way you knew it would all along. I think that this is the last Grisham book I will waste my time reading. Very disappointing!
