About this listen

 Winner of the British Book Awards, Lifetime Achievement Award, 2007.

In 1970, one of Mississippi's more colourful weekly newspapers, The Ford County Times, went bankrupt. To the surprise and dismay of many, ownership was assumed by a 23 year-old college drop-out, named Willie Traynor. The future of the paper looked grim until a young mother was brutally raped and murdered by a member of the notorious Padgitt family. Willie Traynor reported all the gruesome details, and his newspaper began to prosper.

The murderer, Danny Padgitt, was tried before a packed courtroom in Clanton, Mississippi. The trial came to a startling and dramatic end when the defendant threatened revenge against the jurors if they convicted him. Nevertheless, they found him guilty, and he was sentenced to life in prison. But in Mississippi in 1970, 'life' didn't necessarily mean 'life', and nine years later Danny Padgitt managed to get himself paroled. He returned to Ford County, and the retribution began.

Took me a while to get into it but became invested in the central character and his friends and neighbours.

Slow moving story saved by a twist ending.

very different to many of his books; there is very little 'action' but an interesting study of the Mississippi area.

Slow start but an enjoyable listen

I just loved this book. It’s different, with charismatic characters & at times, so very moving. I was sorry when I reached the end., I couldn’t believe I had finished it so quickly!

Fabulous!

It was too short and would have been good to hear more of the Padgets.

John Grisham never disappoints. A gripping story of a horrendous murder in a small town told through the eyes of the new local newspaper proprietor.

Cracking good story
