John Grisham
John Grisham’s writing has spiked the legal minds of his readership over the past twenty years, when his first epic legal saga ‘A Time to Kill’ was released. As a retired attorney and legislator in the Missouri House of Representatives, he has a deep understanding of the legal battles criminals and attorneys go through and this is reflected in the deeply intricate legal plots of his novels.
Grisham's second book ‘The Firm’ only continued this pattern of praise and since then he has written over 17 books, 10 of which have been upgraded into Hollywood film status. He’s also written several non legal fiction novels such as ‘A Painted House’ & ‘Skipping Christmas’, which later was turned into the film ‘Christmas with the Kranks’.
