Mark, Todd, and Zola came to law school to change the world, to make it a better place. But now, as third-year students, these close friends realize they have been duped. They all borrowed heavily to attend a third-tier, for-profit law school so mediocre that its graduates rarely pass the bar exam, let alone get good jobs. And when they learn that their school is one of a chain owned by a shady New York hedge-fund operator who also happens to own a bank specializing in student loans, the three know they have been caught up in The Great Law School Scam.

The incomparable master of the legal thriller takes us deeper into the labyrinth that is the American justice system, always drawing us in with an irresistible hook, pulling the thread of tension tighter and tighter, and then knocking us out with a conclusion that's never "by the book". Maybe that's why, after more than 20 years of consecutive number-one New York Times best sellers, a new novel by America's favorite storyteller is still a major publishing event.

Judge Raymond Fawcett has just become number five.... Nothing is as it seems and everything’s fair game in this wickedly clever new novel from John Grisham, the undisputed master of the legal thriller.

Publisher's Summary
The most corrupt judge in US history. A young investigator with a secret informant. The electrifying new thriller.
Lacy Stoltz never expected to be in the firing line. Investigating judicial misconduct by Florida's 1,000 judges, her cases so far have been relatively unexciting. That's until she meets Greg Myers, an indicted lawyer with an assumed name who has an extraordinary tale to tell.
Myers is representing a whistle-blower who knows of a judge involved in organised crime. Along with her gangster associates, this judge has facilitated the building of a casino on an Indian reservation. At least two people who opposed the scheme are dead.
Since the casino was built, the judge has made several fortunes off undeclared winnings. She owns property around the world, she hires private jets to take her where she wishes, and her secret vaults are overflowing with rare books, art and jewels. No one has a clue what she's been doing - until now.
Under Florida law those who help the state recover illegally acquired assets stand to gain a large percentage of them. Myers and his whistle-blower friend could make millions. But first they need Lacy to start an investigation. Is she ready to pit herself against the most corrupt judge in American history, a judge whose associates think nothing of murder?

Nerve wracking Narration
I would have enjoyed the novel so much more if I hadn't had to listen to the worst narration I have ever been subject to. For me, the performance of the Narrator is tantamount to the success of the story. Cassandra needs to buy a florist shop or take many more voice lessons

The worst narration ever!
Would you try another book from John Grisham and/or Cassandra Campbell?
John Grisham yes.... Cassandra never ever ever
What was most disappointing about John Grisham’s story?
Not listening to the story because of the narration
How did the narrator detract from the book?
The narrator sounded like she was trying to seduce you from the first word!
Any additional comments?
The narrator is the most important part of an audible book, it is the deciding factor to purchase or not, or to continue listening or not. It also adds to the experience of the story overall. Unfortunately this was a very disappointing choice for a John Grisham novel.

What a boring book
Would you try another book from John Grisham and/or Cassandra Campbell?
I have read all John Grisham's books, but this one just did not intrigue me one little bit.
Would you be willing to try another book from John Grisham? Why or why not?
I would think twice
What didn’t you like about Cassandra Campbell’s performance?
Not bad but quite monotonous, however the content was so boring and predictable I don't blame her.
Was The Whistler worth the listening time?
No
Any additional comments?
Mr. Grisham shouldn't release books of this quality

This book has been the straw that broke the camels back for me. I have bought Grisham books for years and loved them. The past few have been so awful I am convinced either he has lost his mojo or someone else is writing them. I won't be buying any more.
The narrator does their best with a really dull,piece of work.
His earlier work is brilliant, buy it - buy it but I would steer clear of his last half dozen books.

Always a good read, but...
I download a new JG as soon as it arrives in the site. Both this and his last effort have, however, been well below his best standard. A rather obscure arm of government hunting down corrupt judges gives a different angle from his usual struggling lawyers, and the story and characters grip. Then, in the last act, he runs out of steam, the unravelling of the plot happens at second hand and far too fast. Maybe even Grisham has problems with deadlines.

GRISHAM ALWAYS RELIABLE
While perhaps not as eloquent as Scott Turow, John Grisham can always be relied on to produce accomplished legal thrillers -- he's been doing it for more than 30 years.
The balance between tension and believability is carefully maintained, and he neatly avoids making superheroes out of his main characters.
And, in addition Grisham can also always be relied on to educate his readers about the Law and its endless complexities.

Wonderful read
Excellent well thought out story. Builds suspense slowly and then moves into action. Also informative.

Another triumph
Wonderful storyline . Once I began reading I could not stop. Another triumph for John Grisham.

Not one of Grisham's best
A rather convoluted story., confusing at times and less gripping than his earlier and later books

A good story, but feels disjointed at times
Whilst I mostly enjoyed the premise of the story, I felt that the pace of the book was clumsy. It just didn't flow right. Jumping from one plot point to the next, and back again. Also by the end of the book, some very minor story elements were just kind of left unexplained. For example, one character was being monitored by the villains, and supposedly was killed. But he later shows up alive and well without any explanation as to why they didn't kill him when they had the opportunity.
The narrator does a reasonable job. Nothing too exciting, but not boring either.
