A Time for Mercy - John Grisham
She and he read
This courtroom procedural sees the return of Jake Brigance, the hero of two prior Grisham novels. The year is 1990 and Jake, still broke, is appointed to defend a 16 year old being tried as an adult accused of a capital crime. Yes, he is guilty and, yes, there are extenuating circumstances.
Nobody captures the essence of the deep south or spins a yarn better than Grisham. There is always something to be learned about the law and the culture as the action leads up to the trial. An engrossing, fast read that I didn’t want to put down. This just seemed like the perfect book to escape into during these fraught days. A best seller for sure!
He really liked it also...
