reaganwaggoner 's review for:

Sycamore Row by John Grisham
5.0

Solid book: an argument of wills, a wealthy man hanged, a family distraught. Multiple wills, contested motives, and my favorite Grisham attorney.

Well-written, fantastic plot, and incredible suspense. Probably the best legal thriller I've read, even outshining much more famous Grisham novels.

I love the suspense and the fear in the maid and the potential consequences to her name and family. I love the distraught of Hubbard's children and the shock of the moment. I love the cool nature of Jake Brigance and his commitment to justice, even when others hypothesize less integrous deeds.
