Lawyer turned author, small town in Mississippi, Racial problems from the 1960's, murder. The latest John Grisham ? No. This is from 2000, by Greg Iles. If someone gave you this book and you didn't know the author, you'd understandably think it was Grisham. But around page 500, you'd realize it's not.
While this book has a good story, good characters, and courtroom action, It's about 100 pages too long (over 600). Grisham tells his stories succinctly. While the plot is juicy enough, this book drags somewhat about 2/3 of the way through. This is a first of a series, so maybe later on Mr. Iles figures out how to get his point across without so many pages.
