Resumen del Editor

In suburban Georgetown a killer's Reeboks whisper on the front floor of a posh home... In a seedy D.C. porno house a patron is swiftly garroted to death... The next day America learns that two of its Supreme Court justices have been assassinated. And in New Orleans, a young law student prepares a legal brief...

To Darby Shaw it was no more than a legal shot in the dark, a brilliant guess. To the Washington establishment it was political dynamite. Suddenly, Darby is witness to a murder - a murder intended for her. Going underground, she finds there is only one person she can trust - an ambitious reporter after a news break hotter than Watergate - to help her piece together the deadly puzzle.

Somewhere between the bayous of Louisiana and the White House's inner sanctums, a violent cover-up is being engineered. For someone has read Darby's brief. Someone who will stop at nothing to destroy the evidence of an unthinkable crime.

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.

Met Expectations. I guess.

As one of Grisham’s most popular books, this was a little disappointing. The story was good, but many characters and events (thugs, assassinations) were unimaginative. Narration was fine but character voices did not have a ton of differentiation.

Too many cheesy sound effects and music

too many cheesy sound effects and music. But otherwise a good story, just sounds like someone is messing with a sound board while reading the book.

Good Entertainment

Watch the movie first then listen to the book. Some slight differences but was very good.

An excellent listen

I enjoyed this story immensely,although it was a little bit over the top at times. It had a happy ending.

Poorly Abridged

After listening to Grisham's unabridged titles on Audible, this one is a little disappointing. The book is comparatively hard to follow, with characters easily confused or not developed - presumably due to the abridged nature of the text. I'd recommend this only for Grisham fans who've run through everything else.
Capably narrated, though by a different narrator than any of the other Grisham books.

Great story with annoying breaks

I love this book. But the musical breaks kill momentum faster than thinking about Grandma during sex.

Darby Shaw Is a great Investigator...

I have been listening to the same book for years, The Pelican Brief. I just enjoy hearing the story lines, over, and over again. Right now my tapes are worn out. So I'm replacing them with Audible. oh my god the audio goes on forever. I fell asleep, and when I woke up we were In Chapter 6. So I just picked up there. Thank you!!!

Books are better than movies

I really enjoyed this book. They movie was great too. But while remodeling a home this is something that you can get lost in.
