Sycamore Row (Jake Brigance #2) by John Grisham
This is an adult thriller novel (Rated R)
♥♥♥♥♥
(Five Stellar Hearts)
Book Summary
Seth Hubbard is a wealthy man dying of lung cancer. He trusts no one. Before he hangs himself from a sycamore tree, Hubbard leaves a new, handwritten, will. It is an act that drags his adult children, his black maid, and Jake into a conflict as riveting and dramatic as the murder trial that made Brigance one of Ford County's most notorious citizens, just three years earlier.
The second will raises far more questions than it answers. Why would Hubbard leave nearly all of his fortune to his maid? Had chemotherapy and painkillers affected his ability to think clearly? And what does it all have to do with a piece of land once known as Sycamore Row?
My Review
I love to come back to my roots as a reader. John Grisham is
one of my favorite authors if not my most favorite. I love everything he writes
and finds it interesting. It never gets old because I love the law. And so
stories center around such entertain me.
The characters are rich and full of life. This story has a
twist and back stories that all come together in an exciting way. He makes us
care so much about most of them when maybe we shouldn’t because they aren’t the
main characters. But I do. I’d love to read more about some of the characters
in this story.
It such a well thought out and executed book. It’s hard
sometime to go back and read mediocre writing. Still, this book was fab. The
only short coming was the ending. I think I’ve read too much to be shocked by
certain things. I was pretty numb in the reveal. However, that was me and not
the author.
Audio Review
Michael Beck is outstanding. I’ll admit that some of his
side characters all sounded the same, I didn’t have trouble following. And most
importantly the main cast was unique. Love the southern accents.
My book boyfriend Jake.
