Publisher's Summary

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.

The novel is better written than the Tom Cruises movie.

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.

Stunning and captivating

The Firm is a beautifully written, deeply emotional journey. In places, it is stressful read. The book challenges the reader to think deeply about what they would do in such a situation.

Firmly Gripping!

A fantastically gripping plot line. Cynical and sadly too believable.😊 Characters are well drawn and believable, despite expected stereotyping. A great read.👍

One of Grisham’s 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

Great Story

I enjoyed this story of Mitch and Abby. I wanted to hear the story after watching the mini series of the same name, that actually starts after this story.

Poor Audio

The start of some paragraphs cut out, it is really annoying to listen to.
