Well, that was underwhelming. Lazy writing, a plot that seemed to be building but then just fizzled out, a protagonist who had no personality and didn’t seem to want to commit to anything. Pretty disappointing for a first Grisham experience. Having read quite a few reviews saying this is a poor example of his work, I’ll probably give him another shot, but he’s got some ground to make up.
