Summary
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.

Favourite Grisham so far
Vivid characters and situations. Tense and humorous in turn with a narrator I really enjoyed.

Slow and steady
I enjoyed this. It works as an audible story because when being read to, somehow a steady story is soothing and a great pleasure. It has its highlights, but generally unfolds with a smooth rhythm. I appreciate logical storytelling, and there is never a point when you think, now hang on a minute. It all makes sense, and justice is satisfactorily served.

Story5 out of 5 stars
Retro look into a Grisham classic - prophetic
What made the experience of listening to The Rainmaker the most enjoyable?
As an ex law student, the arc of the story seemed to have some personal elements. I understand the anguish of the character and very much enjoyed where this story ended up.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Rainmaker?
Difficult to answer without giving spoilers away. In a book with over 50 chapters it is impossible to give a fair answer.
Which character – as performed by Frank Muller – was your favourite?
The narration was well performed over a long book.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Impossible to listen to in one session.
Any additional comments?
Thanks for the offer during January which only made this book a fiver. I've got 3 other Grisham's to read, including his most recent one.

One of his best and wonderfully narrated
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
A gripping story, beautifully read.
Which character – as performed by Frank Muller – was your favourite?
Frank Muller's narration is outstanding and all the characters are real when read by him.
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
A moving story of the weak against the mighty.
Any additional comments?
I love John Grisham anyway but Frank Muller's beautiful voice, gentle but strong, is perfect for this book. I will straight away look for other titles narrated by him.
