Titles include, ‘Shadow in the Cotswalds,’ ‘Blood in the Cotswalds,’ and ‘A Cotswald Killing.’ You will enjoy Tope’s energetic and vivid writing skills.
John Grisham is the world-acclaimed author of 26 novels. His latest book, ‘Sycamore Row,’ returns to the scene and characters that he created in, ‘A Time to Kill’ some 20 years ago.
