Really liked this book.
I don't remember the last time I read a legal thriller, but it was probably some John Grisham book I read in high school. I wouldn't necessarily have chosen to read this book, but it was for a book club. I was pleasantly surprised that I enjoyed it. It was no great literary masterpiece, but it is nice to read a book once in a while that doesn't have flowery prose, deep life lessons, or characters you especially love. This book is all plot, straightforward and simple. A nice change.

I could not put this book down. Perfect summer page turner. It was a 30 year old murder mystery with lots of twists, an old love story never resolved, and a great ending. Set in Natchez Mississippi, it included a lot of history and descriptions of this old southern town.
In addition to being a great story, this book provides a look at the Southern US during the 1960's and the present.
