Sparring Partners is a collection of three novellas from John Grisham. In the first - Homecoming - A former attorney who had disappeared from Clanton, MS asked Jake Brigance to help him reconnect with his daughters. This is after the attorney had run off with clients' money and abandoned his family. And there may be an indictment. In Strawberry Moon, an inmate on Death Row reminisces about what got him there, In Sparring Partners, two brothers, who are partners in their father's law firm, try to find a way to keep their father in jail, while spending his recurring settlement. None of these characters are likable and they're all comitted some crime. Grisham tries to make them sympathetic but you just want to yell at them - "See what bad choices get you!" Maybe you feel for the man on Death Row, because it seems like he never got a chance at life. The stories are easy to read - like an old-school Grisham narrative. But they don't really end as much as drift away. Good pick if you want a shorter narrative. Grisham fans should enjoy these stories. #sparringpartners #johngrisham #doubledaybooks #netgalley #novellas #deathrowfiction #bookstagram #bookshelves #booknerd #readinglife #bookwormlife #sodacityreads #readersofig #bookreview #suspensebook #bookhaul #literarycrimefiction #goodreads #homelibrary #thrillerbooks #domesticthriller #crimefiction #thriller #characterdrivenbooks #mysterythriller #bookrecs #SparringPartners https://www.instagram.com/p/CeBSqRrLSDE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
