LOL It's a great name.<br /><br />This does sound good and I am glad you enjoyed it, Staci. I haven't read too much about it until coming across your review. I'll definitely have to look into it.Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5434452527977390355.post-51907361887788190292010-05-19T12:23:44.387-04:002010-05-19T12:23:44.387-04:00I've been wondering if I would like this book ...I've been wondering if I would like this book -- your review has made me want to give it a try!avisannschildhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12486477882148877317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5434452527977390355.post-4222567069877491192010-05-18T23:01:03.355-04:002010-05-18T23:01:03.355-04:00I loved Grisham's earlier works, so you sold m...I loved Grisham's earlier works, so you sold me there. I think living up to Lehane is a tough act, so I'll be interested to see whether I think that's a fair comparison. <br /><br />So glad you liked this book!
