If this were the first John Grisham you read, you'd never pick up another. So disappointing. WHO WROTE THIS BOOK? I'm glad I borrowed the audio from the library and didn't waste money buying it. Mitch McDeere was a compelling character in The Firm - not this time. I kept waiting for it to get interesting, but when there were only 30 minutes left, I knew I had wasted my time listening to it. At least I got my laundry done. And the ending is terrible!
