#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “A taut and terrific page-turner” (Entertainment Weekly) from the master of the courtroom thriller
In development as a USA Network series starring John Slattery
It’s summer in Memphis. The sweat is sticking to Rudy Baylor’s shirt and creditors are nipping at his heels. Once he had aspirations of breezing through law school and punching his ticket to the good life. Now he doesn’t have a job or a prayer—except for one: an insurance dispute that leaves a family devastated and opens the door for a lawsuit, if Rudy can find a way to file it.
By the time Rudy gets to court, a heavyweight corporate defense team is there to meet him. And suddenly he’s in over his head, plunged into a nightmare of lies and legal maneuverings. A case that started small is exploding into a thunderous million-dollar war of nerves, skill, and outright violence—a fight that could cost one young lawyer his life, or turn him into the biggest rainmaker in the land.

Reseñas de la Crítica
“A mighty narrative talent and an unerring eye for hot-button issues . . . Grisham also reveals for the first time a surprising knack for comedy.”—Chicago Sun-Times
“Great fun to read . . . The complex plotting is Grisham’s major accomplishment.”—Los Angeles Times
“Passages in The Rainmaker are reminiscent of Pat Conroy. . . . This is Grisham’s most barbed book since The Firm, and it is by far his most entertaining.”—People
“Melding the courtroom savvy of A Time to Kill with the psychological nuance of The Chamber, imbued with wry humor and rich characters, this bittersweet tale, the author’s quietest and most thoughtful, shows that Grisham’s imagination can hold its own in a courtroom as well as on the violent streets outside.”—Publishers Weekly
Featured Article: The Essential John Grisham in Audio
John Grisham is best known for his fast-paced legal thrillers and mysteries, many of which have been adapted for television and film. Because he’s so prolific and has been writing for decades, it can be difficult to know where to begin when selecting a title from his impressive back catalog. And Grisham is definitely a jack-of-all-trades: he’s written not only legal thrillers, but nonfiction, a series for kids, some humorous novels, and recently, a new mystery series outside of the legal thriller genre. To help you decide which Grisham gem to download next, we’ve compiled a list of the very best.

The narrator's voice was nice and soothing. He has good acting abilities. Muller's performance exceeded enjoyable. Another criticism is that 10 to 12 times during the 16 hour listen, sentences are repeated which was a distraction but didn't take away from the narration or story in any way.
Not Totally Disappointed

Would you listen to The Rainmaker again? Why?
Yes. The story was rich with interesting characters and was gripping from one scene to the next. Frank Muller was an excellent narrator and brought all the characters to life.Who was your favorite character and why?
Rudy, the main character, was my favorite. In the beginning of the book, he makes some bad decisions and is overly trusting and naive. But as the story progresses, he learns from his mistakes and ends up outsmarting the bad guys. He's an easy going guy with a sense of humor and a very caring side, but he's also smart and calculating. It's easy for the bad guys to underestimate him and his performance in the court room during the big trial is very impressive.Which character – as performed by Frank Muller – was your favorite?
Frank Muller did an excellent job with all the characters. He even did a great job with the female ones, which often does not work very well with a male reader.Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
This book is gripping and very entertaining. I was drawn in quickly and was anxious to find out what would happen next.Any additional comments?
My only complaint about this book is that it is recorded off the audio CDs and some of the text between chapters is repeated and you hear a "insert disk 8" or something like that. Too bad audible did not check the recording and edit these mistakes out. But, these mistakes do not take away from the overall story and performance enough to complain too much.Totally entertaining.
