Just finished this as an audio book... its a while since Ive read or listened to John Grisham and wasnt disappointed. Had to keep listening to it just to find out what happened...the reader also played his part by becomming each character in turn.
I agree its almost like 3 books in one the murder the war story and finally the family saga... you dont get to the twist in the tail until last couple of chapters....
Over all well worth reading or listening to
