A waste of time
I’ve been a Grisham fan for decades and I can hardly believe he wrote this book. He either had a ghost writer or just “phoned it in.” The writing is awful, the characters are one dimensional, and the story is unbelievably bad. Sociopathic serial killer judge who, of course, is so brilliant that he’s stayed out of trouble for over 20 years while he seeks revenge on people who have wronged him. And don’t even get me started on the ending. Give me a break. I couldn’t decide whether to give it one star or two. Don’t waste your time.
