Book Review: Sycamore Row by John Grisham
It might be argued that a man planning his own suicide cannot be of sound mind. You gotta be crazy to kill yourself, right? Not always.Jake Brigance has never met Seth Hubbard, or indeed even heard of him, until the old man's suicide note names him attorney for his estate. The will is dynamite. Seth has left ninety percent of his vast, secret fortune to his housemaid. As the relatives contest the will and unscrupulous lawyers hasten to benefit, Jake searches for answers to the many questions left by Seth Hubbard's death: What made him write that last-minute will leaving everything to a poor black woman named Lettie Lang? Why did he choose to kill himself in the desolate piece of land once known as Sycamore Row? And what was it that Seth and his brother witnessed as children that, in his words, 'no human should ever see'?
Sycamore Row is another solid legal thriller from the pen of John Grisham. Sequel to A Time to Kill, the book is written in an easy to read and in characteristically Grisham style of narration. Although the book could have shed few of the characters, with all its plot twists and page turning narrative style it is highly readable and should not disappoint Grisham fans as a whole.
