years and I know that when he co authors, most of the work seems to be written by the other writer, but I cant believe ANY professional author wrote this garbage I thought I would be reading a Grisham esque type of book Instead, I read drivel NO fleshing out of any character in the book ridiculous portrayals of southern bigotry asinine plots and evenasinine reso...Well, in spite of the great reviews, I could not bring myself to give this bookthan two stars The first half was interesting, but once Juror 3 was identified, the book fell flat The dialogue was very trite the characters flat
