All stories take place in that county in Mississippi where there was already the plot of his first novel, Not Guilty.

Between the two stops on the route Grisham chaotic many citizens face in their own way to the temptation of illegal: A lawyer frustrated that diverts the damages, a hustler who claims in part to open an Indian casino, a supervisor in a nursing home who handle patients and staff ...
Sometimes exciting, sometimes moving, these stories describe the bits of life in a certain strain of American society. They prove, if proof were still needed, talent as a storyteller John Grisham.

MY OPINION
Seven new with all their interests, I had never read the John Grisham and yet it is not because of his bibliography huge! I have seen some of the cons by film adaptations of books, including the firm with Tom Cruise and the Pelican Brief with Julia Roberts. You can find here films adapted from his novels.

This is his first collection of new and well I advised him to continue on this path!

I went from laughter to tears by reading these 7 new! It depicts these characters sometimes so cruel sometimes very tricky and the author is indeed a real talent for storytelling!
I found myself in the American countries as I can imagine with my film and literature references.
I often think of movies, just when I read this news. The themes of the New 7 are recurrent in literature or cinema. Except may be for Havre peace ... However, this story would be a damn good idea of the longer novel.

pretty scary, which could end up wrong ... I almost prefer a hard and unforgiving end ... Yes I'm sadistic sometimes, but I like it when the little guys win sometimes ...

Achilles " This collection of 7 stories for me was a real pleasure, because they were different from each other and that this type of short story seems better suited to this author, who, faced with the challenge of together seven stories in one book, was forced to release the heaviness and length of his usual thrillers and therefore alternate brevity, originality and suspense. He has found a style carved, clear, no frills or excessive detail . "Didi
