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.
 
Don’t miss John Grisham’s latest novel, Camino Ghosts, and the upcoming Framed, his first work of nonfiction since The Innocent Man!

    It’s a boring story and incredibly poorly written. Such a surprise as I like all other books by John Grisham. It felt like it was written by an untalented high schooler.
  • Incredibly good story!

    From beginning to end this story grabs you and doesn’t let go. Good novels are believable, this one sure is.
  • First Draft worthy

    Not his best work. Overall descent story, but not worthy of The Firm,. Misses the mark like a first draft.
  • Boring

    20 year wait and this was so disappointing. It’s one of those books that you start reading and you keep hoping that it’s going to get better but it does not. The pace is very slow and never picks up. It was also very predictable from the beginning of the book when one of the characters gets sick and the fallout from that to the very end. I read 3/4 of it and skipped to the last two chapters. I could not finish it. Very disappointing.
  • Goes nowhere… super-slow, unrewarding read

    So disappointing. The story was nothing but traveling around and making phone calls. Descriptions of cities and meetings…Blah!
  • A book about nothing

    The plot is an endless and boring effort of raising ransom money… nothing more. One of his worst.
  • Not a worthy sequel
