About this listen
Clanton, Mississippi. The life of a 10-year-old black girl is shattered by two drunken and remorseless young men. The mostly white town reacts with shock and horror at the inhuman crime. Until her father acquires an assault rifle - and takes justice into his own outraged hands. For 10 days, with burning crosses and the crack of sniper fire spreading through the streets of Clanton, the nation sits spellbound as young defense attorney Jake Brigance struggles to save his client's life...and then his own....
©1992 John Grisham (P)1992 Bantam Doubleday Dell Audio Publishing, Bantam Doubleday Dell Audio Publishing, A Division of Random House Inc.What the critics say
"Grisham's pleasure in relating the Byzantine complexities of Clanton (Mississippi) politics is contagious and he tells a good story.... An enjoyable book." (Library Journal)

More twists & turns than a den of snakes
And most of those snakes are of the more poisonous two legged variety. This is a good trial novel but also an excellent look at human nature. This book was very hard to put down. If you like twists in your plot, this is your book.

Love A TIME TO KILL
John Grisham is a master at writing great and masterful, legal challenging, mind provocative thinking, drawing you into to the story, not just as a reader, but he has you sitting and walking every step along the way.
It was a very deep look into South and their way of life, leaves you to wonder if this could happen today, if it did happen in 2020 would the outcome be the same.
I would recommend this book before you read any of the others in the Jake Bergans series.
Micheal Beck is masterful at bring all of John Grisham's books to life.

story captured my attention from beginning to end
Everything about this book is real and captivating; the ending was not what I thought it would be.

did not enjoy 😔
Thank goodness John Grisham changed his style. I really liked the other Jake Brigance books but this one with the constant use of the N word even by Jake was assaulting on my ears and heart. I just couldn't finish reading it and good thing I read the other Jake Brigance books first by accident because I would have never discover how good they were.

It was okay
I hear that the Sycamore Row is better. I'll move onto that story. This plot is very interesting, though i was lost partway through its development. The courtroom scene was interesting, through I wasn't entranced. Throughout, I heard an inconsistency in Beck's performance in that I couldn't tell which character was speaking. Based on the reviews that I've read, his performance has been better in the following books.
