About this listen

At the top of his class at Harvard Law, he had his choice of the best in America. He made a deadly mistake. When Mitch McDeere signed on with Bendini, Lambert & Locke of Memphis, he thought he and his beautiful wife, Abby, were on their way. The firm leased him a BMW, paid off his school loans, arranged a mortgage, and hired him a decorator. Mitch McDeere should have remembered what his brother Ray - doing 15 years in a Tennessee jail - already knew. You never get nothing for nothing. Now the FBI has the lowdown on Mitch's firm and needs his help. Mitch is caught between a rock and a hard place, with no choice - if he wants to live.

Once again this author just shines without fail.
Very quickly gets into an intriguing, unique aspect of the legal entities from an unthought of realm of intrigue, deception, intellectual smarts and arrogance.

A must have

Entertaining, but not without its problems. The protagonist was almost too perfect/superhuman, and part of the story were just not believable. If you don't look too closely at that stuff though, it's still quite enjoyable.

The final ending was a whimper. Almost seemed inconclusive. The movie version deviated a lot but to be fair was a bit more dramatic and satisfying as conclusion.

The novel is better written than the Tom Cruises movie.

Great story

Well written and well read by one of my favourite narrators. Fast paced, tension built through the narrative. Slightly disappointing "happy ending" perhaps.

Full of Characters you can see and relate to. A journey of anticipation to the end.

A tail of crime at its best

This was the first John Grisham book I ever read and kickstarted a 30 plus year relationship. After just finishing the audiobook it still holds up as one of his best books. Definitely top 5. I couldn’t stop picturing Mitch as Tom Cruise though haha. Enjoy and buy with confidence

One of Grisham’s best
