Sycamore Row by John Grisham
4.0
After coming off the grind of reading the [b:The Complete Works of William Shakespeare|764563|The Complete Works of William Shakespeare|William Shakespeare|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1371515067l/764563._SY75_.jpg|3000541] earlier this year I was looking for a palate cleanser book and [b:Sycamore Row|17288661|Sycamore Row (Jake Brigance, #2)|John Grisham|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1375888633l/17288661._SY75_.jpg|25046757] by [a:John Grisham|721|John Grisham|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1650547491p2/721.jpg] definitely hit the spot for that.
The story was engaging and a real page turner. It's not a thriller at all - just a solid story told so well that I wanted to keep turning pages to find out what will happen. If you liked his book, [b:A Time to Kill|32542|A Time to Kill (Jake Brigance, #1)|John Grisham|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1554303029l/32542._SY75_.jpg|1804929], this is the sequel.
I did have a problem with the ending.. However, the entire novel was very engaging and I enjoyed it very much.
I might seek out another couple palate cleansers like this book to kind of restart my reading. I still plan to work through some reading challenges - most of those are teed up on my currently reading shelf.

Spoiler
It felt way too tidy for me in the end the way [a:John Grisham|721|John Grisham|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1650547491p2/721.jpg] tied the pretty bow on this one and everyone lived happily ever after. The bit of realist in me thinks the case would have actually dragged into years of appeals and Lettie Lang would probably have ended up with jack squat in the end.I might seek out another couple palate cleansers like this book to kind of restart my reading.
