Summary

From the Sunday Times and New York Times best-selling author, a new legal thriller about a man who might be the most criminal sitting judge in American history.

In The Whistler, Lacy Stoltz investigated a corrupt judge who was taking millions in bribes from a crime syndicate. She put the criminals away, but only after being attacked and nearly killed. Three years later, and approaching 40, she is tired of her work for the Florida Board on Judicial Conduct and ready for a change.

Then she meets a mysterious woman who is so frightened she uses a number of aliases. Jeri Crosby's father was murdered 20 years earlier in a case that remains unsolved and that has grown stone cold. But Jeri has a suspect whom she has become obsessed with and has stalked for two decades. Along the way, she has discovered other victims.

Suspicions are easy enough, but proof seems impossible. The man is brilliant, patient and always one step ahead of law enforcement. He is the most cunning of all serial killers. He knows forensics, police procedure and most important: he knows the law.

He is a judge, in Florida - under Lacy's jurisdiction.

He has a list, with the names of his victims and targets, all unsuspecting people unlucky enough to have crossed his path and wronged him in some way. How can Lacy pursue him without becoming the next name on his list?

The Judge's List is by any measure John Grisham's most surprising, chilling novel yet.

Decent story but rather abrupt ending

Felt like author ran out of space and decided to wrap up the plot in the last chapter. Didn’t do a great job of it unfortunately. Plot idea was decent however and book was fun to read / listen to.

Lost his touch?

Grisham early books established him firmly as one of the best writers. Since those halcyon days it seems to have all gone downhill. This effort is poor to boring at best and not a credit in anyway to once brilliant and deservedly acclaimed writer. A great pity and a loss to current readers.
