There was a period of time in my 20s when I was reading a lot of John Grisham. In the span of just a few years, I probably read at least 10 to 20 of his books. And then for whatever reason, I stopped reading him and this marks my first Grisham book in over ten years. Thus, I approached this one with some trepidation. Would Grisham still be able to engage me all these years later? My reading tastes have become much more sophisticated in the last ten years and I've moved way beyond the realm of legal thrillers. Turns out, this book grabbed me almost from the very first page. It is a twisty and well written legal thriller that kept my interest all the way through. Yes, the plot is ridiculous but that's to be expected from a book like this. There's a reason why Grisham is one of our best selling authors. Because he knows how to craft a tight, dramatic book. You can tell this is one of his early novels as it feels like he actually wrote this unlike some of his later ones which feel ghostwritten. All in all, this reminded me of why I first fell in love with Grisham all those years ago.
