As adults, after a horrific crime, Hugh and Keith meet in a courtroom for a shocking showdown.
This story has good bones, but I found it easy to put down. It was written rather passively and did not engage me. I did get The Boys From Biloxi from the library and was glad I had not paid for it. Sorry, Mr. Grisham. I wish you had told the story with more animated dialogue and passion.
Sounds a great book Joanne. Yes it is me but have just learned I have cataracts in both eyes.
ReplyDeletewaiting for treatmend but hope to pop on line from time to time.
Hey you! Glad you popped in. I had cataracts removed a few years ago. No pain. And I can see!! Good luck. Hope they fix you soon. Take care
DeleteHaven't read Grisham in a while. Thanks for letting me know not to buy! :)
ReplyDeleteGlad to be of service on this one. He’s still a good author.
