The mix is very eclectic, different styles, times and cultures. Sometimes it's a bit hard to place yourself. But for the titular story and the last one, it's worth it.

sifuCJC reviewed The Litigators by John Grisham
A solid law tale
3 stars
Being new to Grisham, I'm again impressed by his character development. You do get the expected legal procedural and also get interesting characters. Even though they're 'ambulance chasers' and a bit sleazy, I wanted to hear about them.
The pace is a bit clunky in the middle but still an entertaining book.

sifuCJC reviewed Flying in Place by Susan Palwick
Dealing with trauma
4 stars
I found this book from 1993 in a local little library. The power went out that night in an intense desert storm, so I started reading by phone light. I finished in one sitting.
It's very well written with simple, unobstructed prose. The words get out of the way so you can experience the emotional journey. You will definitely cry on this one, but it will be cathartic.
