 Sycamore Row

Pages: 447
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars

Revisit Jake Brigance and Ford County, the setting of John Grisham's first novel, A Time to Kill. Life hasn't been kind to Jake Brigance and his family since he took and won the Hailey case. He still has police protection at night. Now, he receives a letter from a dead man. The letter's instructions may give him an even more controversial case.

A slower paced story than most of John Grisham's early novels but he continues to improve his writing style. An enjoyable tangle of a puzzle with believable characters.
