10.23.2022 - The Boys From Biloxi

The Boys from Biloxi by John Grisham

Many thanks to NetGalley and Doubleday Books for gifting me a digital ARC of the latest courtroom thriller by the one and only John Grisham - 5 stars!

Keith Rudy and Hugh Malco grew up friends in Biloxi, Mississippi, where their families went back for generations.  But when they were teenagers, their families went in opposite directions - Keith's father, Jesse, decided to become a lawyer and fight for the right side, where Lance Malco became a crime boss, ruling over the corruption rampant along the Gulf Coast.  The families will come together in a courtroom.

This was pure John Grisham - maybe a bit long with a lot of characters and background, but it all intertwines so perfectly.  The courtroom scenes are of course spot on and you can feel the desperation and passion on both sides.  And that ending.  This is another fabulous read from a master writer!
