Publisher's Summary

What happened after? The riveting sequel to The Firm, the blockbuster thriller that launched the career of the world’s bestselling author.

What became of Mitch and Abby McDeere after they exposed the crimes of Memphis law firm Bendini, Lambert and Locke and fled the country?

The answer is in The Exchange.

It is now fifteen years later, and Mitch and Abby are living in Manhattan, where Mitch is a partner at the largest law firm in the world. When a mentor in Rome asks him for a favour that will take him far from home, Mitch finds himself at the centre of a sinister plot that has worldwide implications – and once again endangers his colleagues, friends and family.

Mitch has become a master at staying one step ahead of his adversaries, but this time there's nowhere to hide.

Disappointing

After The Firm I expected a thriller with many twists and turns, The Exchange was longwinded and even boring at times.

Meh....

Glad i finished it, but felt it could have had more. a bit of a rambling tale of darting around the world in a private jet, attempting to sell the value of a life.

Not his best

Seemed a bit short of ideas where to go with it to be honest - maybe setting up for a sequel where the villains meet justice!

Dull

Really really dull. Expected more. Was just very journeyman and not remotely believable. Don’t bother.

didn't live up to the anticipation

after the excitement of the firm I was really hoping for something similar but it fell really short. it was a long drawn out waiting game without much teeth.

disappointing

I had high hopes but it was hard to get through. It just meandered on with what felt as little progress. they can't all be gems.

Not what I had hoped for

It was an interesting if repetitive and long winded story but as often happens with Grisham the ending wa a fizzer

I’ve noticed this in some of his other works ,the main body of the story is very well constructed but it’s almost like he wakes up one morning and has to get it to the publisher because he is not a good finisher ,it often seems all too rushed

There are obvious exceptions in his wonderfull repertoire but finishes are not his forte in my view

Disappointed in sequel to the firm

I loved the firm so much I listened to this straight after but I did not enjoy this at all. I wasn’t expecting a hostage story at all and did not enjoy. Suffered through to the end to no satisfaction and will look more at blurbs next time.

Disappointed.

I was looking forward to this novel, unfortunately it is quite dated and predictable. A miss for me.
