The Summons by John Grisham

The Summons is an enjoyable albeit just average offering by Grisham.

It tells the story of a guy who finds his old father dead in his studio, where he subsequently discovers a large amount of money that he has no idea where it could be coming from.

Although not memorable, the story is well developed (especially the well-rounded characters) and it offers plenty of adventure and even a few twists.

I particularly enjoyed the reading of the book by Michael Beck (whom I remember from the 1979 movie The Warriors), who succeeds in giving each characters his or her own distinct personality.  The various southern accents he does are great to listen to.
