Finished second short story "Fetching Raymond" and almost done "Fish Files". "fetching Raymond" was a boring trip by handicapped mother and her two sons to fetch the body of third son Raymond after receiving death penalty. (Boring).The next one is "Fish Files" in which a small town attorney gets a call from a corporate lawyer and receives an unexpected liability settlement offer pertaining to some chain saw blade accidents years after it happened. He is is planning to keep the money for himself and not speak a work to his family or friends.
I will probably finish the audio book on my morning walks but it really is not what I expected from Grisham. His past books (not short stories) like the "Firm" while novels that had twisting plots and kept you guessing what was going to happen next. Hopefully John Grisham returns to what made him a good writer as in "The Appeal", "The Firm" and "The Associate". Maybe if it was called "The Ford County" it would have been better.
