A review by jordysbookclub
A Time for Mercy by John Grisham

3.0

QUICK TAKE: I love a good legal thriller, and John Grisham used to be my go-to...his past few books haven't really lived up to expectations, but I find them to be easily digestible and forgettable reads. As for A TIME FOR MERCY...it's a solid paint-by-numbers addition to the Grisham universe. If you're a fan of Grisham, you will most likely enjoy this one (especially since several characters from previous Grisham novels make appearances), though the book is probably 150 pages longer than it should be (didn't need 50 pages of jury selection, JG) and the drawn out use of a young rape victim as the main character's key to winning his case felt a little tone deaf and insensitive.
