The Reckoning by John Grisham

The story of a man who murders a preacher in the small town in which he lives, the story of how he got to the place of murder, and the story of the effects it had on his loved ones. This was an interesting book. At the end, Grisham talks about a real-life murder that inspired him into writing this particular story. It’s fascinating. It’s also frustrating for me as a lawyer to read how the fictional jury made its decision to vote for the death penalty.
