About this listen

In 1970, one of Mississippi's more colorful weekly newspapers, The Ford County Times, went bankrupt. To the surprise and dismay of many, ownership was assumed by a 23 year-old college dropout, named Willie Traynor. The future of the paper looked grim until a young mother was brutally raped and murdered by a member of the notorious Padgitt family. Willie Traynor reported all the gruesome details, and his newspaper began to prosper.

The murderer, Danny Padgitt, was tried before a packed courthouse in Clanton, Mississippi. The trial came to a startling and dramatic end when the defendant threatened revenge against the jurors if they convicted him. Nevertheless, they found him guilty, and he was sentenced to life in prison.

But in Mississippi in 1970, "life" didn't necessarily mean "life," and nine years later Danny Padgitt managed to get himself paroled. He returned to Ford County, and the retribution began.

Wonderful story, beautifully set in a part of the world Grisham clearly not only knows intimately, but also obviously loves. The story is more about the beautiful friendship that grows between the two main characters and is wonderfully narrated. The ending is made the more emotionally engaging due to the brilliantly emotive narration and it makes you feel like you're a part of the story. It's Grisham as you know him but I wonder how much would be lost without such fabulous narration. It really makes the book for me. Can't wait to move onto Sycamore Row!
