It's been years since I last read a Grisham book, but after reading this one I'll definitely be looking for more. The leadup to the trial was frustratingly long at times, but it also felt realistic so I can forgive it for that. Compelling characters with strong convictions but sometimes questionable methods made this a very enjoyable read.
