    Yes, it should stay for the US challenge because it did tell a story about south Mississippi that was pretty true. I googled to read more about the Dixie Mafia and the early years of Biloxi.

    Having said that – I love Grisham but really had trouble getting into this. I understand the need to develop characters but I felt like he took too long in this book. I am glad I stuck with it, but I really struggled in the 1st half.
