Sycamore Row (2014) by John Grisham

This is a standard legal thriller by productive writer, John Grisham.  It is about a will contest of a very rich guy in BFE Mississippi that requires going resolving a 50 year old mystery to decide who gets the estate.  As they say, in the south, the past isn't dead.  It isn't even past.  Who am I to judge. 

Read it.
