A Time for Mercy by John Grisham
3.0
I have a weakness for Grisham. I read all of his works and his story telling is still masterful but I just hate the way he writes. Very simplistic, formulaic, and I feel like a child. Grisham is nudging me along, telling me which way to go.
Still, this story is wonderful and timely. A 16 year old boy shoots and kills his mothers abusive boyfriend. Oh, and the boyfriend is a cop. Jake Brigance (A Time to Kill, Sycamore Row) is again trying a capital murder case.
This book reminds us of the complexity of human emotion and action. It asks us to examine the definition of right and wrong.
A page turner as always.
