I won’t lie, this book was somewhat irritating.
In this book, a University of Virginia law professor is summoned home by his overbearing judge father (hence the title). On arrival, he finds his father dead, and $3million sitting in the study. Where did it come from? Why didn’t straight laced pops say something about it? The son sets out to find out.
It wasn’t bad, as Grisham thrillers go, as there’s a semi-interesting twist at the end of the book. It was infuriating, but it didn’t lay out all the exciting stuff at the start of the book, which is something that typically happens in Grisham books, I find.

Meh... This one wasn't a favorite. It had its moments, but didn't care for the ending, was pretty abrupt and lackluster.

A somewhat interesting plot that lost steam towards the end. Worth the quick read though.

John Grisham is usually hit or miss with me. He's pretty entertaining, but some books are better than others.
