Publisher's Summary
Finalist for the 2023 AUDIE AWARDS® for Thriller/Suspense
The next astonishing thriller from the master of the legal thriller.
Sunday Times No 1 bestseller John Grisham returns to Mississippi in his most gripping thriller yet.
For most of the last hundred years, Biloxi was known for its beaches, resorts, and seafood industry. But it had a darker side. It was also notorious for corruption and vice, everything from gambling, prostitution, bootleg liquor, drugs . . . even contract killings. The vice was controlled by a small cabal of mobsters, many of them rumoured to be members of the Dixie Mafia.
Keith Rudy and Hugh Malco grew up in Biloxi in the sixties and were childhood friends. But as teenagers, their lives took them in different directions. Keith's father became a legendary prosecutor, determined to 'clean up the Coast.' Hugh's father became the 'Boss' of Biloxi's criminal underground. Keith went to law school and followed in his father's footsteps. Hugh preferred the nightlife and worked in his father's clubs. The two families were headed for a showdown, one that would happen in a courtroom.
Rich with history and with a large cast of unforgettable characters, The Boys from Biloxi is a sweeping saga of two sons of immigrant families who grow up as friends, but ultimately find themselves in a knife-edge legal confrontation in which life itself hangs in the balance.
In this novel, Grisham takes his powerful storytelling to the next level, his trademark twists and turns will keep you tearing through the chapters until the stunning conclusion.

Brilliant as always
Engrossing and believable story and brilliant narration. Hard to believe that it is mainly fiction.

His best so far.
I love how this story develops, especially the different generations. It covers some hard topics of the time in a fairly even handed way. Maybe could have made it more complex here but flotsam and jetsam need removal. More on the grandparents story would be interesting. Please write a prequel.

One of the better Grisham stories
Great narration of a different to the standard Grisham story. At story that spans a couple of generations told in the usual omniscient style of most of his books but still a good and satisfying novel.

Captivating until the end!
Incredible story line.
It took a minute to figure out where it was going, but when it got deeper and the story really started to unfold, I was hooked!
Awesome narration as well!

Ended up good, way too slow start
Another great book however the first 6-7 hours were too slow. The last 8hrs were good. Look forward to the sequel

Never disappoints!
Superb story and great characters. Fantastic narration. John Grisham did not need to use foul language or blasphemy to drive the narrative.

Went on and on but enjoyed. Think it could have been a bit shorter
It could have been shorter. Went on and on. Maybe I wasn’t in the right frame of mind. I enjoyed but didn’t love
