When Carl Lee Hailey guns down the hoodlums who have raped his ten-year-old child, the people of Clanton see it as a crime of blood and call for his acquittal.

Review: I’ve been reading crime fiction for a while now and it’s common knowledge that John Grisham is considered one of the best, so it was only a matter of time until I picked up his debut novel ‘A Time To Kill’. Amazon has a pretty healthy review of the synopsis and even offers an exerpt from the book so I wont delve into too much of the plot as all you will need to know can be found there.

This is a very good debut book, an awfully good book debut or no debut and deserves to be read if you are a fan of the genre. The legalese and courtroom scenes are a pleasure to read, the length though abundant is well paced and never fails to lose its speed. The main characters are described beautifully and theres a cast of endearing supporting characters. The way Grisham describes the southern town invaded by black protestors and the imminent threat of the Ku Klux Klan is astounding. You feel as if you’re in Clanton, living, breathing and being part of the infamous Carl Lee Hailey trial.

I highly recommend this book, you will not be sorry.

NOTE: This is an original  book from the library gathered by the famous Cambridge Don, computer scientist, food and wine connoisseur, Jack Arnold LANG. Note: Jack founded the Michelin Guide ‘Midsummer House’- Cambridge’s paramount restaurant. This dining experience is hidden amongst the grassy pastures and grazing cattle of Midsummer Common and perched on the banks of the River Cam. The Midsummer House experience is imaginatively curated to delight and amaze, so the surprise set menu changes regularly and is ‘Midsummer’s’ playground to showcase

In 2008, Jack was one of the co-founders of the Raspberry Pi Foundation, alongside other members of the Department, and acted as the Foundation’s Chair. The project’s original goals were modest: to build and distribute low-cost computers for prospective applicants to our Computer Science degree. Initially the project was a “success disaster”, as Jack would say, as demand far outstripped the low-scale manufacturing plans. Ultimately the Raspberry Pi became the UK’s most successful computer with more than 60 million sold to date. Jack was drawn to the educational possibilities of the Raspberry Pi, its potential uses in emerging economies and the way it could support self-directed learning.
