I've always found John Grisham's book enjoyable reads with their twists and turns but the three novellas in Sparring Partners didn't, in my opinion, match his usual standards. The endings, especially in "Homecoming" seemed to trail off without much of a satisfactory ending.
In Homecoming Mack Stafford wants to return to his hometown when he finds out his ex-wife has a terminal illness, but this is not an easy task as he had initially escaped with client funds and gone underground. With the help of two lawyer friends his hopes to return with little fan fare don't pan out.
Strawberry Moon follows the last hours of a death row inmate and his lawyer's fight to save him.
Sparring Partners delves into the dysfunctional Malloy family and two brothers who are unsuccessfully running the family law firm while their father is serving time in prison.
