I have only read a handful of Grisham novels. Have loved them all except this one. The book is broken up in 3 parts. Part 1 is great and I was dying to know what Pete's motive was. Part 2 was ainteresting but it was filler to draw out the novel. Part 3 was disappointing. Pete's motive not revealed til almost the last page. Was expecting a big twist or major secret but it was neither. Many lives were ruined and really for nothing. Not his best work at all.
