My very first John Grisham book.  Because I don't have any of his other works to compare this to, I think he did a wonderful job of story-telling.  Some of the characters were a bit too mysterious/vague and could've been developed further but it probably would've changed the story.  I am an avid reader of historical fiction so I was not after the courtroom drama that Grisham is known for, which probably helps to strengthen my rating.
