It takes awhile for the real meat of the story to get going-The first part is dedicated to the trial of Danny Padgitt. The second part is how life goes on in Clanton, Mississippi. You almost forget there are going to be killings, as forecast on the back cover.
Mr. Grisham has a unique ability to paint a picture of life in small town Mississippi, back in the 1970's. The atmosphere is perfectly painted, the characters drawn to perfection. He puts enough twists to make you pay attention, Willie Traynor is an immensely likable character, full of self doubt and concerns for the truth, and his friends. Recommended reading for all, not just Grisham fans.
