Here’s a trio of novellas from the king of the legal thriller. The stories in this collection should appeal to Grisham’s fans. There’s a convicted lawyer-slash-thief trying to reconcile with his daughter, a death-row convict nearing execution, and small-town lawyers doing their damnedest to break the law without anyone noticing. On the downside for fans of commercial fiction, the stories are unconcerned with plot twists and surprising endings. On the upside, the thing that makes Grisham so readable—his love of the law and the flawed people who practice it—shines through and makes for an enjoyable reading experience.
