it has a great plot that flows well despite many twists and turns
question: How is the flow like?, context: I liked this legal mystery for several reasons.  First and foremost, it has a great plot that flows well despite many twists and turns.  Equally good is the cast of fully-fleshed out characters that populates the book.  Virtually the whole cast is multi-dimensioned and nuanced.  The author skillfully sets up a conflict between good and evil, but there is nothing over-the-top in either direction--these are real people reflecting their times and circumstances.  It gets pretty ugly when the story dips into the racial history of the South--Mississippi in particular--but there is always the hope of redemption held out for contemporary characters who are the heart of the book.So "Sycamore Row" is, at its base, a very, very entertaining story.  Very hard to put down in any of its section, and impossible to stop reading in its last 150 pages.  Highly recommended.
