I enjoyed this book; have always been a fan of John Grisham and particularly like his stories about the South. Growing up in the Pacific Northwest we really had no exposure at all to the race issues of the South. Then I lived in Arkansas and Alabama during my career and I saw how things are different. Grisham's books give us a dose of the painful reality of how things were in the past, how they have improved and how we still have a long way to go. They found Seth Hubbard in the general area where he had promised to be, though not exactly in the condition expected He was at the end of a rope, six feet off the ground and twisting slightly in the wind. A front was moving through and Seth was soaked when they found him, not that it mattered. I really loved A Time to Kill and was happy to revisit Jake Brigance - but I didn't really enjoy this one as much. Maybe because it was a civil case about a contested will and not quite as attention grabbing as the events in A Time to Kill. Also, I found it hard to rate this because I hated the stereotypical racial biases and white savior theme but I recognize that the story is the story and has to be presented through the eyes of the characters. Excellent audio narration.
All the author’s strengths are in evidence—his capturing the rhythms of small-town life in Clanton, Miss., his skill at making legal minutiae comprehensible, and his gift at getting readers to care about his characters.
The suspense never rests when A Time to Kill's Jake Brigance fights the good fight once again. Often named an all-time favorite by John Grisham's legions of fans, the book that started it all gets a brand-new chapter. America's favorite storyteller returns to Ford County, Mississippi, where defense attorney Jake Brigance will have to fight for justice in a trial that could tear the small town of Clanton apart.
