Much like the first book, it was good. It was interesting and I finished it in one sitting. I enjoyed returning to the world and seeing the next Quarter Quell but in the end, it is kind of forgettable (don't hate me for that) Overall, the characters were good, and it was a good second book where it didn't fall victim to an info dump. I think this was the best book in the trilogy and was ready for the change that was to come for their society.
This was only the third Grisham novel I read. I love how each follows a different idea of what is going on. This is one of my favorites by him. Following Mercer through the entire investigation looking into the stolen Fitzgerald Manuscripts was fun. Grisham is a master storyteller and this was not a disappointment.
The book wasn't bad. I felt that it would've been a better end to the Jake Brigance storyline but I still have to read A Time for Mercy and Homecoming. Overall Grisham is a favorite author of mine and while I do own 90% of his books I've only read a few. I did intend to read more from this series but I got sucked into his Camino Winds series.
Overall, Sycamore Row was just an odd addition to the storyline of Jake. We meet Jake in A Time to Kill where he is a defense attorney but now we see he is forced into Probate law to handle someone's will after he dies. I will definitely be finishing the series in time here but just not sure when I am going to continue.
I waited a while to pull together all my thoughts on this. I had never read the books before this and ran through the entire series very quickly. It is a good book. It just missed something and I think it is more I was not the target audience but I feel teenage me would've still given it 3 stars. As stated it was a good book with an interesting story but it just fell flat in the end.
