Raymond halen

Grisham's small-town courtroom dramas feel so authentic—I'm curious whether real events or locations inspired this backdrop or if it's purely fictional.

The legal battles are riveting, but I wondered if that focus made the characters feel a bit less fleshed out. What did others think about the balance?

Seeing the story through Raymond's eyes added depth and vulnerability. I wonder what led to the choice of this POV and how it influenced the story's tone.
