About this listen
In 1970, one of Mississippi’s more colorful weekly newspapers, The Ford County Times, went bankrupt. To the surprise and dismay of many, ownership was assumed by a 23 year-old college dropout, named Willie Traynor. The future of the paper looked grim, until a young mother was brutally raped and murdered by a member of the notorious Padgitt family.
Willie Traynor reported all the gruesome details, and his newspaper began to prosper. The murderer, Danny Padgitt, was tried before a packed courthouse in Clanton, Mississippi. The trial came to a startling and dramatic end when the defendant threatened revenge against the jurors if they convicted him. Nevertheless, they found him guilty, and he was sentenced to life in prison.But in Mississippi in 1970, "life" didn’t necessarily mean "life", and nine years later Danny Padgitt managed to get himself paroled. He returned to Ford County, and the retribution began.

Great story. Presentation had faults
I’m a pretty big Grisham fan. Once again he got me sucked into the story and it was fantastic. I was slightly disappointed that at times the presentation was crackly and the narrator seemed a bit distracted.

Great
Really different slant about one of his Character creations which I was sceptical Mr Grisham could pull off.
Excellent story which put a lump in my throat in the final chapter. Loved it.

Great story
A little drawn out in the middle (possibly because of the sense of something about to happen), but a great story and narration.

not a patch on Grisham's other books....
Unfortunately found this story uninteresting. Which, I'm surprised at, considering I have really liked every other story he has written...

Thrilling and filled with suspense
The book was really interesting, filled with suspense and very thrilling. However the last 3 hours just seemed to drag.
I really liked the narrator's voice. His voice easily slipped into one character from another. I am guessing Baggy is a white man, however from the voice when playing him, he sounded like a black man.
