“Invisible” is the first novel by Ellis and Patterson I have really enjoyed. This time the novel races along with fast pacing and a story that winds and turns, keeping the reader in suspense as the story unfolds. A killer is on the loose and Emmy Dockery an FBI researcher has a personal reason to solve the murders. “Invisible” is perfectly timed summer reading excitement.

Sycamore Row
“Sycamore Row” is the first sequel Grisham has ever written. Jake Brigance the attorney in “A Time To Kill,” is back in the same courthouse trying a new case. Seth Hubbard, a wealthy man has lung cancer. He decides to commit suicide rather than go through treatment that will only prolong his life. Before he takes his own life he writes out instructions to Brigance to administer a new will and carry out the instructions. Brigance has to encounter greedy family members and others in another case that unfolds as the novel moves along. Grisham moves the story along with interesting characters and again sets the novel in Ford County. “Sycamore Row” is a perfect summer read that is also another great legal thriller.
