Über diesen Titel

 #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • John Grisham returns to the iconic setting of his first novel, A Time to Kill, as Jake Brigance finds himself embroiled in a controversial trial that exposes a tortured history of racial tension.

“Welcome back, Jake. . . . [Brigance] is one of the most fully developed and engaging characters in all of Grisham’s novels.”—USA Today

Seth Hubbard is a wealthy white man dying of lung cancer. He trusts no one. Before he hangs himself from a sycamore tree, Hubbard leaves a new, handwritten will. It is an act that drags his adult children, his black maid, and defense attorney Jake Brigance into a conflict as riveting and dramatic as the murder trial that made Brigance one of Ford County’s most notorious citizens, just three years earlier.

The second will raises many more questions than it answers. Why would Hubbard leave nearly all of his fortune to his maid? Had chemotherapy and painkillers affected his ability to think clearly? And what does it all have to do with a piece of land once known as Sycamore Row?

Nice return of the characters, from Jake to Lucian. Wished the story would never end. Hope there will be another sequel. Great speaker also, as in Time to Kill, maybe the best I heard so far

Top! John Grisham at his best.

Ein im höchsten Maß spannender Roman mit unvorhersehbaren Wendungen,die einen atemlos auf das nächste Kapitel gespannt sein lassen. Michael Beck liest so wunderbar, dass man sich die einzelnen Charaktere bildhaft vorstellen kann. Insgesamt ein fesselndes Hörvergnügen!

Für wen - wenn nicht gerade für Sie - ist dieses Hörbuch besser geeignet?

This is a well spoken and good narreted story, but after a while its boring to listen. The subject may have an everlasting charm for people who live in a world where there is nothing so interesting than money and rich people.

Good narreted, but ...
