Summary

What happened after? The riveting sequel to The Firm, the blockbuster thriller that launched the career of the world’s bestselling author.

What became of Mitch and Abby McDeere after they exposed the crimes of Memphis law firm Bendini, Lambert and Locke and fled the country?

The answer is in The Exchange.

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 favour that will take him far from home, Mitch finds himself at the centre of a sinister plot that has worldwide implications – and once again endangers his colleagues, friends and family.

Mitch has become a master at staying one step ahead of his adversaries, but this time there's nowhere to hide.

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

"John Grisham is the master of the legal thriller." (Jodi Picoult)

Mitch mcdeere airmiles

Missed opportunity to catch up with a great character from mr Grishams earlier work, slow and no depth of character. Still don’t know who the culprit was

Dull as dishwater

I really wish I had read reviews before I embarked on this dull book.
I only stuck to the end because of The Firm, the two books feel like they were written by completely different authors.
Save yourself the bother, the characters and story are both flat.

Oh no, What a disappointment.

I was really looking forward to this one. Unfortunately John Grisham did not deliver. The plot didn’t go anywhere, the chapters were rambling and the,ending predictable. No twists or great plot reveals. I can hardly believe that the publisher went ahead with this one. I usually love GRISHAM’S novels but perhaps it’s time for him to hang up his laptop and to be remembered for his top rated legal bestsellers.

what a disappointment

I have always enjoyed John Grisham's legal procedurals but this is just jingoist, racist rubbish. When anybody from a hot country is described as swarthy, smelly, dirty, eyes-too-close-together then it has to be stopped.

Who cares about the travails of the largest, richest legal firm in the world?

I’d exchange The Exchange

The story was weak and fairly boring but fleshed out to make a higher page count. I don’t think the author’s heart was in it!!

Disappointing

Loved The Firm and most of Grisham’s books but this just ended up being a damp squib with a predictable ending.

Not The Firm

Disappointing. Story hard to follow. Lacked the “Grisham” of Grisham. Not an audiobook i”d recommend.

Left wanting more…

I enjoyed the listen and narrator, but the story didn’t have enough substance or twists.
