Description

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • John Grisham delivers high-flying international suspense in a stunning legal thriller that marks the return of Mitch McDeere, the brilliant hero of The Firm.

“A breathtaking update on the McDeeres and the life they made . . . Grisham, in vintage form, ratchets up the suspense in this winning sequel.” —The Wall Street Journal

What became of Mitch and Abby McDeere after they exposed the crimes of Memphis law firm Bendini, Lambert & Locke and fled the country? The answer is found in The Exchange, the riveting sequel to The Firm, the blockbuster thriller that launched the career of America’s favorite storyteller.

It is now fifteen years later, and Mitch and Abby are living in Manhattan, where Mitch is a partner at the largest law firm in the world. When a mentor in Rome asks him for a favor that will take him as far as Istanbul and Tripoli, Mitch finds himself at the center of a sinister plot that has worldwide implications. Once again Mitch’s colleagues, friends, and family are targeted. Mitch is a master at staying one staying one step ahead of his adversaries, but this time there’s nowhere to hide.

Look for John Grisham’s forthcoming legal thriller, The Widow. This time, the verdict isn’t the end of the story.

    Not as good as The Firm but as compelling. I hope to read more about the McDeeres including Ray and maybe bring back Tammy/Doris.
  • Boring and slow

    I only finished to say I was finished. I kept hoping for some big climax or point to the whole story but it never came.
  • Almost perfect

    A taut writing job, as expected from a master story smith, But IMHO, too many side excursions off the main road.
  • Plodding and Unsastisfying

    Hard to think of any characters that were really likable in this very mediocre story. Could have done much better justice to Mitch McDeere. Pretty much every line is packed with nauseating opulence. And why do all the characters seem to be constantly drinking? Just a very unsatisfying read.
  • Not bad

    I read this Grisham book several years ago and decided to read it again. I discovered that I had forgotten so much but remember just enough to keep it moving along beautifully. Once again, Grisham has captured my intrigue. So much writing talent! A real pleasure to enjoy a second time!
  • Disappointed

    Did Grisham really write this book? Very boring no twists no turns. Horrible sequel. Don’t bother with this one.
