Even though I had not read the first in the series; I found that this novel grabs you from the very first page and keeps you guessing until the very end. The characters and story from the previous novel are covered very well so you are not left guessing where they all fit in. The older man who is dying from cancer chooses a way to die that is very symbolic. In the end you see that events that he put in motion three years before, weighed into everything that he did in the last two days of his life. Your emotions will be pulled in and you find yourself rooting for the person named in his handwritten will. You also see into the racial divide that existed and maybe still does to some extent in the south.
