Summary

Winner of the British Book Awards, Lifetime Achievement Award, 2007.

A U.S. State Senator is dead, and Mark Sway is the only one who knows where the body is hidden.

The FBI wants him to tell them where it is at whatever cost to Mark and his family. The killer wants him silenced forever. Reggie Love has been practising law for less than five years. Only she can save Mark from these twin threats. Together they must take on the might of the State and the wiles of a cold-blooded killer.

Twangy musaz

Great story - one of my favourite John Grisham books. Read well, but why oh why the twangy musaz? Really, really did not enhance the audiobook at all and very irritating. Well chosen music can enhance a story though personally I prefer pure spoken word - but this music choice really spoilt the book for me. A real shame as such a great book by such a great author.

Terrible narrator

The narrator is reading this book to fast, looks like she never read bedtime stories. Another annoyingly occurrence is the music played at silly intervals. The story itself is not the usual John Grisham gripping story.

Super story by Grisham

Good story very well narrated by Blair Brown not sure about the music. I have never been disappointed by a John Grisham book.

Great Story My Favourite J G Book

The narrator speaks a little too quick foe me. So, l slowed the play speed down a bit. A real shame about the poor quality of suspense music. Probably would have been better without any music

Ditch the music!

Good story, but the music made it sound like a cheesy 80s soap opera and took away from it overall.

Who needs sound effects?

Sound effects and music - which didn’t fit my interpretation of the plot, ruined the experience for me. But for the fact it was a John Grisham story, I would have returned the book.
