A fugitive lawyer, a reluctant heiress, a grandson seeking redemption, a couple planning to skip Christmas, crooked judges lording over a prison, a man seeking justice for his daughter, an idealistic lawyer, a rainmaker...a runaway jury----These are just some of the unforgettable myriad of characters created by lawyer-turned-wirter, John Grisham.
The world of law has never been the same since he first came out with his first novel, "A Time To Kill." And since then he has cultivated a following that has anticipated his new legal thrillers. Even Hollywood has joined the bandwagon, turning his novels into blockbusters.
For this year, I had a John Grisham marathon---reading 3-4 books of his back-to-back. I never do get tired of his seemingly formulaic story lines or heroes. There's still the mystery of knowing whodunit...Not all of his novels have happy endings. Even his rogue heroes gets their comeuppance.
Here are some of his novels that I highly recommend: 'A Time to Kill', 'The Confession', 'The Litigators', 'The Firm', 'The Runaway Jury', 'The Chamber', 'The Appeal'...
You should also try his novels about Theodore Boone, Kid Detective. It's funny and poignat and you can have your kids read them.

You'll never get bored reading any of John Grisham's legal thrillers. (the visual traveler)
