The Judge's List

De: John Grisham

Narrado por: John Grisham, Mary-Louise Parker

From the Sunday Times and New York Times best-selling author, a new legal thriller about a man who might be the most criminal sitting judge in American history.

In The Whistler, Lacy Stoltz investigated a corrupt judge who was taking millions in bribes from a crime syndicate. She put the criminals away, but only after being attacked and nearly killed. Three years later, and approaching 40, she is tired of her work for the Florida Board on Judicial Conduct and ready for a change.

Then she meets a mysterious woman who is so frightened she uses a number of aliases. Jeri Crosby's father was murdered 20 years earlier in a case that remains unsolved and that has grown stone cold. But Jeri has a suspect whom she has become obsessed with and has stalked for two decades. Along the way, she has discovered other victims.

Suspicions are easy enough, but proof seems impossible. The man is brilliant, patient and always one step ahead of law enforcement. He is the most cunning of all serial killers. He knows forensics, police procedure and most important: he knows the law.

He is a judge, in Florida - under Lacy's jurisdiction.

He has a list, with the names of his victims and targets, all unsuspecting people unlucky enough to have crossed his path and wronged him in some way. How can Lacy pursue him without becoming the next name on his list?

The Judge's List is by any measure John Grisham's most surprising, chilling novel yet.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"When Grisham gets in the courtroom he lets rip, drawing scenes so real they're not just alive, they're pulsating." (Mirror)

"A superb, instinctive storyteller." (The Times)

"Storytelling genius...he is in a league of his own." (Daily Record)

Outstanding

Gripping from the first sentence, I struggled to put it down. Highly recommend both the story and the narrator.

Not the Best

I found this a rather long-winded story. I struggled to continue with it, but I did.

Meh

Pretty boring. Grisham is not at his best any more. The narrator does her best, but she's not gifted with accents or having different characters speak in different ways.

Review

Great book like all of this write. I listened to this book till the mornings, because I wanted to hear the ending .Great book I recommend all his book

"Fresh"

"The Judges List" breaks new ground in psychological thrillers. Every paragraph counts. You really have to pay attention. A challenging read. Great: to listen to or Gift.

Good enough story let down by monotonous narration

Not Grisham’s best—plenty of plot holes, but an enticing (if very far-fetched) conceit—but this audiobook is seriously let down by the narrator, who is monotonous and sounds like she has the beginnings of a cold. She also reads far too slowly. It’s a long way from when she was Josh Lyman’s girlfriend on The West Wing! Fortunately I could increase the playback speed in the app.

audible Flop! Sis for wasting my money!

Lazy, boring narrator no nuances, no tonal differentiation or emotive variety, All characters sound sameduhduhblah!

Disappointed

I struggled to finish this. I did not like the narrator. The story was ordinary at best.

Not as good as the others

The story dragged out a lot and was not as well planned and put together as the previous John Grisham novels. The end came like an afterthought
