The plot of the thriller "The Simple Truth" revolves around a high-level legal conspiracy, a theme present in many of John Grisham's numerous bestsellers.
"I learned a long time ago not to read the critics. It's almost always bad, so why go there. They've been slapping me for ten years. I'm like Teflon now. It's like water off a duck's back."
John Grisham woke up at 5:00 every morning for three years to complete his first novel, A TIME TO KILL. Working as a lawyer and a member of Mississippi's state legislature, Grisham published his debut thriller with a small and somewhat unknown publisher, receiving only local readership in his home state.

He finally burst on to the national scene with his second novel, THE FIRM, a legal thriller that sold millions of copies and stayed on the New York Times best-seller list for 47 weeks. Shortly afterward, Grisham moved to Oxford, Mississippi, where he began working on a series of new legal thrillers, including THE PELICAN BRIEF and THE CLIENT, all of which became bestsellers and were subsequently made into successful films. Having graduated from Ole Miss with a law degree in 1981, Grisham went on to base his popular thrillers on his experience as a specialist in criminal defense. His once-unknown debut, A TIME TO KILL, was made into a major motion picture in 1996.less...

Grisham se las ingenia para encontrar los puntos dificiles del derecho y elaborar historias sobre estos. En este caso es un testamento y la lucha de poder que se genera por los potenciales herederos, los representantes legales de estos, y el sistema de justicia. Sin embargo,en ocasiones la fortuna esta destinada a quien menos la desea. Una telarana que teje el derecho sobre ricos inescrupulosos, la riqueza en los EUA, la pobreza en Brasil, y una misionera quien no quiere ser rica.
A Time To Kill was the most amazing book I have ever read. I couldnt put it down, I felt every blow and heard every cry that little girl let out. It was so real and scary.
