Publisher's summary

In Biloxi, Mississippi, a landmark tobacco trial with hundreds of millions of dollars at stake begins routinely, then swerves mysteriously off course. The jury is behaving strangely, and at least one juror is convinced he's being watched. Soon they have to be sequestered. Then a tip from an anonymous young woman suggests she is able to predict the jurors' increasingly odd behavior. Is the jury somehow being manipulated, or even controlled? If so, by whom? And, more important, why?

Great John Grisham Story

An fascinating behind the scenes look at those involved in prosecuting and defending an important trial of tobacco producers and cigarette manufacturers, and the of the jurors chosen to hear the case!
The reader Frank Muller is exceptionally good also. An excellent listen.

thank yu Frank muller

grisham is far too long winded in this one it's good but would be far better if 100 pages slimmer . there is no one really to root for.everyone is various degrees of sleazy and the female protagonist is neither funny or sympathetic,instead she feels we quite contrived as do many of the plot devices.the narrator is typically brilliant and rescues the book but even he seems bored about halfway thru from having to repeat himself and he compensates by racing thru the narrative like Seabiscuit chasing down a flagging competitor. the very best thing about the book is that they didn't hire the ever atrocious Scott Brick to read it. 12 hours of his school marmish mincing and indicating would have killed my subscription and sucked all the oxygen out of my zip code

Frank Miller is simply great

This book was brought to life by the great performance of Frank... It goes without saying that John Grisham never dissappoints, though I have to say it's not his best but I can't all be gold, right?

Great book

I love his stories, they keep my attention and I hate to finish. I then go find another and have not been disappointed yet. I highly recommend John Grisham books

Love Frank Muller!

This is a great book, but Frank Muller really brings it to life. You won't be disappointed!

Grisham's third best book

Where does The Runaway Jury rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Much better than average. There's a reason Grisham sells more books than the run of the mill thriller writers.

What did you like best about this story?

Pacing. Suspense.

What does Frank Muller bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

The main thing is not to distract from the story. The Southern accents add but do not subtract.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Not extreme. But always wanted to get back to it as soon as possible.

Any additional comments?

Grisham's third best book after A Time to Kill and The Firm. Stellar suspense. Simple and incomparable legal knowledge.

Good story, better movie.

I enjoyed that it was different than the movie, but the movie was more clever.

Amazing book

The narration is phenomenal and truly brings the characters to life. I usually like books with huge plot twists and blindside hits from all directions and while this has plenty of each- it’s also a story that you feel good about once it’s over. This is a must read/listen.

The Runaway Jury

This book was excellent. I especially enjoyed the humorous and somewhat outlandish antics that took place during the trial.

Terrific book!

One of Grisham' s absolute best, narrated beautifully by Frank Muller. Great characters, very suspenseful with lots of fun plot twists!
