What to Read If You Enjoyed: A Time to Kill
Last week I finished reading A Time to Kill, and was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. Here are 10 recommendations if you enjoyed it too:
1. The Firm is my favourite book by Grisham, and one of the creepiest books I've ever read. There is also a film adaptation starring Tom Cruise.
2. The Pelican Brief is one of Grisham's most famous books, thanks to its excellent film adaptation starring Denzel Washington and Julia Roberts.
3. If you want something a bit lesser known by Grisham, I also enjoyed The Summons.
4. Summary Justice is the first in a series of legal thrillers, which I'm obsessed with. There are currently only two in the series, but I keep hoping for more.
5. I haven't actually read Thirteen yet, but it's been on my to-read ever since I saw that tagline.
6. Defending Jacob is another, albeit older, legal thriller on my to-read list.
7. Bluebird, Bluebird is one from my to-read list, and provides a more up-to-date look at the intersection of race and justice.
8. To Kill a Mockingbird is an obvious addition to this list, and one I'd definitely recommend if you haven't read it yet.
9. If you liked the character of Jake Brigance, he's back in Sycamore Row. This is another one I haven't read, but I've been told it's an excellent read, heavy on the legal drama, but slightly slower than A Time to Kill.
10. And don't forget to check out the film adaptation, starring Matthew McConaughey, Sandra Bullock, and Samuel L. Jackson.
