Book Suggestion: A Time To Kill by John Grisham

Book Suggestion:  A Time To Kill by John Grisham

 

A Time To Kill (1989) by John Grisham. After reading 20 or so of his books, I finally read the first one last year. It is outstanding, as may be expected.  A Time to Kill is the book that launched Grisham’s writing career.

The setting of this novel is the small town of Clanton, Mississippi and the primary character is criminal lawyer Jake Brigance.  If you are new to books by John Grisham, I suggest that you read A Time To Kill before reading his best seller Sycamore Row (2013) in which Jake Brigance is also the leading character. However, they do not need to be read in order to be thoroughly enjoyed. 

What novel are you reading for pleasure this week?

I read A Time to Kill when it first came out and loved it... couldn't put it down. Have read all of his books.  My sister got me a book last year for my birthday, "Their Mysterious Ways Too" about animals. My husband read it last week and said I should definitely read it.  So that is on my list to read.
