Her chance to shine comes when she‘s retained by Vince Larissa, an investment adviser accused of murdering his wealthy wife.

pickAwesome book. I loved the pacing and short chapters, as it was easy to read a few in between a busy day. I definitely want to check out some more of Grisham‘s work
pickA woman was kidnapped and tortured but finally escaped; 2 others were abducted but ended up dead. If you like courtroom/ lawyer drama and twisty mystery, this is for you. Well written ❣️But I believe it‘s a new series I‘ve begun…

A preacher is found brutally murdered in a Tennessee motel room. A beautiful, mysterious young girl is accused. In this Mystery Readers International finalist for "Best Debut Mystery," criminal defense lawyer Joe Dillard has become jaded over the years as he's tried to balance his career against his conscience.
so-soIn between a pick and so-so. People have been raving about this book. At times it was good, but then it was suddenly all over the place, jumping from A to B to F. Also got very, very tired of everyone being bad. We get it, all the clients and victims are bad, bad, bad. I would have edited this book a lot. I liked the main plot and the family things, but otherwise it was too much to try to remember.
pickVintage Grisham which had all the things I absolutely love about his book. Could only have been improved with a slightly more robust edit. I‘m ready for the sequel now.
pickI personally didn‘t love this book, but giving it a pick because I think I‘m biased. A friend recommended it because she though it gave good insight into how lawyers argue criminal cases and that she was fooled by the whodunnit, which is rare. As a lawyer (albeit not a criminal one), I tend to find books about legal process tedious. But this was a quick read and an otherwise compelling mystery.
pickYou will like the main character Sasha. Quick read- lots of action
