Sycamore Row by John Grisham
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Seth Hubbard has lung cancer and not long to live so at the last minute he writes a new will and then commits suicide. In the new will he leaves the bulk of his estate of 24 million to his maid, Lettie and cut out his own two children and grandchildren.
The children contest the will and that is where the story begins. It becomes a complicated, intriguing trial by jury.
John Grisham can make you sit in a chair until you have finished reading the book. There are lots of twists and turns in the plot and many lawyers, but not so many that you lose track.
A terrific read.
