"Not Grisham's Best Effort - Boring and Uneven" according to Amazon Customer. I am a Grisham fan but this is not his best work. If there is such a thing, I would call this a boring page-turner. You keep turning the pages expecting it to get better but then you get to the end and realize---that was it. I mean it has all the nuts and bolts of a solidly written piece of fiction but there is just no spark to it, nothing clever or surprising. After I'd turned all the pages, I blinked several times and turned off my kindle - surprised that it was over because it never quite got off the ground. The characters are one-dimensional and there is no real connection to them. Like the heroine i. "Disappointed" according to Jean Ann Morris. In my opinion, as along time reader of probably all of John Grisham's books, this one just did not measure up to the others. I kept reading it because I had purchased it. It lacked the suspense of the author's other novels. I am sorry to say I did not like it at all.. "Total disappointment" according to Toni Aldrich. I am a long time Grisham fan, but was thoroughly disappointed by this new book. I felt no attachment to characters, or the plot. The majority of the book was easily written as a list of everything that transpired after the opening scenes. Even though it was boring to me I trudged through it to the end hoping to find the Grisham I have enjoyed over the years. Total waste of time.
