Not my favorite Grisham, but 4 stars; I really liked it. Texas, the death penalty, and an out of state minister caught up in trying to stop an execution.
The problem with reading clubs is that occasionally someone suggests a dud and one feels forced to finish the book out of courtesy to the other participants.
