As the Page Turns: 'The French Illusion'
Hi, I’m Jane O’Keeffe; I write a monthly book review for the Lake County Examiner. I live in Adel on a ranch with my husband, John. You may know me from my days as a County Commissioner, my past or current service on the Health District Board, or the other political activities I am involved with; but I have another side. About 10 years ago, I went back to college and received a Masters in Creative Writing.”The French Illusion”by John GrishamWait a minute, was this really a John Grisham novel? Where was the corrupt judge? Where were the well-intentioned lawyers? Where were the heart-stopping trial scenes? “The French Illusion” delivers exactly none of these Grisham staples.What the reader gets is a kidnapping caper. Well not really a caper because actual damage is done to people and yes, some of them are lawyers. However, this is not your standard Grisham novel.
