Ford County. The heart of the American deep South. A place of harsh beauty, of broken dreams and final wishes.

From legendary legal thriller author John Grisham comes a unique collection of stories connected by the life and crimes of Ford County, the setting of his iconic first novel A Time to Kill.

From a hard-drinking, downtrodden divorce lawyer looking for pay-dirt, to a manipulative death row inmate with one last plea, Ford County features a vivid cast of attorneys, crooks, hustlers, and convicts. From their stories emerges a rich picture of lives lived and lost in Mississippi.

Completely gripping, frequently moving and always entertaining, Ford County brims with the same page-turning quality and heart-stopping drama of his previous bestsellers.

One star because its John Grisham - a brilliant writer usually but like 2 of the previous reviews - this one is dull and monotone without any suspence or thrill - this is not his usual brilliant penmanship. Maybe its because they are short stories and Grisham needs more time to develop the stories we love so much. I was vey disappointed.

Grisham sounds more like an Elvis impersonator than someone telling a gripping story, he pauses in the wrong places and is a dull monotone failing to bring the listener to feel that there is something to keep you listening.

Very disappointing

John Grisham us one of my all-time favorite authors but maybe he should stick to writing as audible narration is not in his skillset

John Grisham is a Master story writer and whilst it was interesting to hear him tell the stories, he really should have these stories told by narrators like Dennis Boutsikavis or Michael Beck, Grishams delivery is like listening to the American version of Alistair Cook, great for factual descriptions but not good for delivering the characters.
Overall the stories are as usual just excellent.

Excellent range of short stories

If you are in the mood for short stories from your favourite wee town in Mississippi then this is the book fo you. Easy to listen too and great episodes that give you the feeling to be part of it all.

Really good short stories
