hcamel24 's review for:

Sycamore Row by John Grisham
5.0

Finally, Finally, FINALLY! THIS is the John Grisham I remember reading in the early 90s (my god, has it been that long??). Jake Brigance is back (well, I'm a little late to the party as this came out in 2013 but still..) after his big case in "A Time to Kill." This time, he finds himself sent a will by a man who has hung himself. What's interesting about the will? It's handwritten by the deceased and explicitly cuts out his family and leaves 90% of his estate to his black housekeeper.
Twists and turns (I'll admit, I saw a couple of them coming) keep this novel going at high speed until the very end.
THIS is the John Grisham I love.
A wonderful story and great characters (Harry Rex and Lucien in particular made me smile) and well told by the narrator as I listened via audio.
Thank you Mr. Grisham for an outstanding novel that sits now as highly esteemed on my bookshelf (albeit virtual) as A Time to Kill, and The Firm.
