Sebastian Rudd is a criminal lawyer who takes the cases other lawyers won't touch with a ten-foot pole. As a result, his circle of clients and acquaintances aren't exactly the type you'd want your daughter to bring home -- which makes Rudd a target, a less-than-solid father, and a big risk as a potential love interest.In Grisham's newest novel, the focus is more on characters than on plot. Okay. Grisham is a good writer and I enjoy reading his offerings. In The Rogue Lawyer, Rudd tackles several cases that are mostly independent of each other, giving the feel that the book is a collection of short stories linked by a common, off-beat character. Personally, I like Grisham's tight plot lines better. This book left me a little flat. I didn't even develop a strong like or dislike of Rudd. So if you like Grisham a whole lot -- and lots of people do -- I'm certainly not one to discourage you from reading The Rogue Lawyer. Just be aware that it won't offer what you've come to expect from this storyteller.
