Story
Number-one best-seller John Grisham returns with his most suspenseful thriller yet. Given the importance of what they do, and the controversies that often surround them, and the violent people they sometimes confront, it is remarkable that in the history of the USA only four active federal judges have been murdered. Judge Raymond Fawcett just became number five. I did not know Judge Fawcett, but I know who killed him, and why. I am a lawyer, and I am in prison. It's a long story.

Story
An innocent man is about to be executed. Only a guilty man can save him. For every innocent man sent to prison, there is a guilty one left on the outside.

Time passes and he realizes that the mistake will not be corrected: the authorities believe in their case and are determined to get a conviction.

Story
In his final hours in the Oval Office, the outgoing president grants a controversial last-minute pardon to Joel Backman, a notorious Washington power broker who has spent the last six years hidden away in a federal prison. What no one knows is that the president issues the pardon only after receiving enormous pressure from the CIA. It seems Backman, in his power-broker heyday, may have obtained secrets that compromise the world's most sophisticated satellite surveillance system.

They watched Danilo Silva for days before they finally grabbed him. He was living alone, a quiet life on a shady street in Brazil; a simple life in a modest home, certainly not one of luxury. Certainly no evidence of the fortune they thought he had stolen. He was much thinner and his face had been altered. He spoke a different language, and spoke it very well. But Danilo had a past with many chapters. Four years earlier he had been Patrick Lanigan, a young partner in a prominent Biloxi law firm.

Slow is an understatement. Also, the narrator keeps mispronouncing Appalachia! Very annoying. I’m used to Americans mispronouncing words but it still gives me the shits.

Oh Dear!!!!
Where does Gray Mountain rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
It's up there with other good books I have read but it is not great.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Gray Mountain?
The end!!!!!!!!!
What does Catherine Taber bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
The characters.
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
I wouldn't it has such a dreadful ending with no hint of a sequel.
Any additional comments?
This had all the makings of a great novel but to end it on such a way was the last straw for me. Is there a sequel coming out???

What a painful lead character
This story dragged itself along like a three legged dog and was repetitious and slow.
The lead character, Samantha, was a completely unsympathetic, detached, cynical and uninteresting woman who failed to improve in the telling.
The subject, coal mining and its dreadful human and environmental impacts, had the makings of a ripping narrative which Grisham absolutely failed to deliver.
Don't waste your money. It's writing by numbers.

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
From beginning to end there was no real story. It ended like it started. I don't believe this book was written by John Grisham.
