Query: Anemic Plot

I'm trying to judge this book as just another novel, not a John Grisham Book. That said, this book was still disappointing. The plot was thin and uninteresting, the characters pretty character-less. It read like a short story that was stretched into a novel. A single story line, no twists, no tension, minimal character development. These same flaws also made the book read like someone's first novel.Asides: 1) I enjoyed Grisham's choices of surnames, wondering what he would come up with next (Atlee, Mirk, Magargel, Crum, Meave). 2) I hope Grisham's editor will learn which verb to use with the word "none". And 3) John, as hot as the Drifters were in the early 60s, you will not find their songs on any Motown albums!I hope this book is just an anomaly and not the beginning of a bottoming out (a la Cornwell).
