This was not one of my favorite Grisham works. The book moves along very slowly and the ending, while some may not see it coming, is rather weak. I might have enjoyed this book better in abridged form as much of the prose seems excessive and wasteful and many of the actions unnecessary in moving the story along in the unabridged version - seemed a bit like treading water at times. On the positive side, Grisham does present and develop some wonderfully interesting characters and includes one of my favorite of his previous characters, Harry Rex, in plentiful doses throughout the book and the premise is intriguing.

This was my first Grisham book and I throughly enjoyed the twists and turns. The reader has an extremely pleasant voice and the characters very very distinct.

This book goes very quickly and I like the narrator a lot. I look for more books read by Michael Beck. The story was good, suspenseful, but not to the point I couldn't drive and listen. LOL!
If you enjoy light reading with some suspense, you'll like this one.

I've not read a lot of John Grisham but quickly realized I probably should after listening to this one. This audiobook was fantastic. The characters were very well-developed and interesting. The narrators accent was spot on, and as a southerner, I can say that. The story had twists and turns I didn't expect. This book made me ask myself what would I do if I found the same thing Ray Atlee found. It's a big question, with many possible answers I suppose. I greatly enjoyed this book and look forward to the next Grisham story I can find.
Another thriller by Grisham with a twist at the end.
