Sycamore Row - John Grisham
- In English. First published in 2014 (e-book).
In one corner of Clanton lives Seth Hubbard, a reclusive rich old man who is dying of lung cancer. In a quirk turn of event, he hangs himself from a sycamore tree one rainy afternoon. His maid who took care of him for the last three years was kicked out of the house and left to fend for her family by Hubbard's greedy family who arrived soon after his death to stake claim to his property. It's assumed that they would inherit his estate and all that therein.
-> A somewhat disappointing ploy and a book which looked very much like one of the many from John Grisham. Even though I have a lot of respect for his way of writing, I felt like no thrill was present either during its writing or my reading.
