Publisher's summary

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the master of legal thrillers, a page-turning classic of “suit-and-dagger suspense” (The New York Times): At the top of his class at Harvard Law, Mitch McDeere had his choice of the best firms in America. He made a deadly mistake.

Don’t miss John Grisham’s new book, THE EXCHANGE: AFTER THE FIRM, coming soon!

For a young lawyer on the make, it was an offer Mitch McDeere couldn’t refuse: a position at a law firm where the bucks, billable hours, and benefits are over the top. It’s a dream job for an up-and-comer—if he can overlook the uneasy feeling he gets at the office. Then an FBI investigation into the firm’s connections to the Mafia plunges the straight and narrow attorney into a nightmare of terror and intrigue. With no choice but to pit his wits, ethics, and legal skills against the firm’s deadly secrets—if he hopes to stay alive…

Critic reviews

"Taut, fast and relentless... A ride worth taking." -- San Francisco Chronicle.

"Keeps the reader hooked... From the creepy first chapters... to the vise-tightening midsection and on to the take-the money-and-run finale." -- The Wall Street Journal.

"Irresistable... seizes the reader on the opening page and propels him through 400 more." -- Peter Prescott, Newsweek

Featured Article: Christmas with the Kranks—Book vs. Movie


John Grisham may be best known for his legal thrillers, but he's also been known to deviate from form every now and then and write something completely different. Skipping Christmas is one such book. It was adapted into a 2004 film called Christmas with the Kranks, starring Tim Allen and Jamie Lee Curtis, which gained the story an even wider audience. If you're familiar with the film but don’t know much about its literary inspiration, read on.

Excellent

I recently watched the TV series and it’s an interesting twist on the book. Worth the watch and I’m glad I listened to the book.

Wow !

Awesome story! I kept track of the characters too. Spoiler Alert!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!





I stopped listening to the book about a 3rd of the way in when the “scene” happened on the beach. It frustrated me because I knew it would be used as blackmail. It frustrated me that such a faithful person with such a wonderful life and wife would fall into adultery so easily. Just a string bikini and some dove eyes and he throws it all away.

But I finished the story because I was curious how it played out. It was good and I ended up loving it other than Mitches one stupid decision.

The classic novel that got Grisham noticed.

A classic no doubt, though I've heard the film is better than the book, and that might be true. Haven't seen the film version yet. Scott Brick is amazing as always. One of my favorite narrators, though others disagree, but that's their opinion.

The Firm was outstanding. The last 3 hours of the audible book was intense. I just couldn’t stop listening to it.
