All right, all right. I know some of you view Grisham with more than a little disdain. But listen! This was a good read! Grisham's tale of a widow's lawsuit against a tobacco company for the death of her husband (a smoker) shows us a shadowy world of courtroom intrigue. The reader becomes aware early on that all is not quite normal in this case's jury pool. No less than three different groups (in a two-sided trial) are attempting to influence this jury. The resulting web of lies and conspiracies is immensely complex -- so much so that sometimes the characters involved can't keep track of it all. The only flaw was a somewhat implausible ending.
