The Reckoning, Grisham - B-

                                                He can tell a story better than anyone else. Arguably, he is the best of our generation. Once again, he magically transports us to the countryside and court rooms of rural Mississippi. But he throws curves and spends a significant portion of the book in a flashback to WWII combat in the Philippines. And he finishes with his usual flurry - but this time it's simply not much fun. A John Grisham book is always a page turner and that is the case here.
