Who did the murder

Fantastic, couldn’t stop listening. The narrator kept me wanting more and the book did not disappoint

Captivating story from the beginning.

Grisham has done it again. It's a real page turner and the legal knowledge captivating. It's up to date with cyber knowledge. This book keeps you on the edge of your seat and raises your heartbeat with the twists and turns.
A pleasure to read.

On the edge of your courtroom seat!

It was good. Intense. Sad. I don't want to give anything away. Just listen to it!

Excellent writing.

The story was over before I was ready, which is a compliment, since it was approximately 13 hrs long. Very enjoyable. The narration was well done regardless of the sometimes awkward male narrator speaking as a female. I’m critIcal to the point that I often annoy myself. I would definitely listen again to this narrator, though, and always look forward to John Grisham’s writing.

An Innocent Man

A typical JG book that was excellent. It grabs you and won’t let you go until the end and you want to say what will happen next!

disappointing

it was good, not great. really wouldn't call it a who dun it as the victim wasn't killed until halfway through. i thought it was a little long and tedious. good narration.

Greed Doesn’t Pay

This story didn’t go the way I thought it would. It’s a good listen for sure. I love Grisham and the narrator.

Logic and passion and reason win

I know that this is just fiction but life and books imitate what we really go through. John Grisham continues to represent that and everything that he writes and in the life that he lives. I am really grateful to this author for all of the work that he does. Not that he just sits down and writes which he does, but that he also makes a concerted effort with his time to support the clearing of innocent people who haven’t been guilty of anything, ever. That’s brave.

Twisted ending

Always a good listen from this author and narrator. Great for long drives. Thanks for the listen..

Winner

Grisham has another winner here! Great plot & characters keep you hooked throughout! Highly recommend this book!
