About this listen

Troy Phelan is a self-made billionaire, one of the richest men in the United States. He is also eccentric, reclusive, confined to a wheelchair, and looking for a way to die. His heirs, to no one's surprise - especially Troy's - are circling like vultures.

Nate O'Riley is a high-octane Washington litigator who's lived too hard, too fast, for too long. His second marriage is a shambles, and he is emerging from his fourth stay in rehab armed with little more than his fragile sobriety, good intentions, and resilient sense of humour. Returning to the real world is always difficult, but this time it's going to be murder.

Rachel Lane is a young woman who chose to give her life to God, who walked away from the modern world with all its strivings and trappings and encumbrances, and went to live and work with a primitive tribe of Indians in the deepest jungles of Brazil.

In a story that mixes legal suspense with a remarkable adventure, their lives are forever altered by the startling secret of The Testament.

Brilliant

I love John Grisham and this is the best one yet. Compelling story, with interesting characters and the right amount of drama and the narration was excellent: highly recommend.

Subject matter.

Very few books touch my heart. I needed to hear this book at this moment. It was very affirming. Thank you to all from the writer to the audio reader.

Say it, don’t sing it please

A wonderfully intwined and believable story, as ever from John Grisham, but the narrator seemed to sing the past word of every sentence. Sometimes I was able to switch off, sometime not, making it irritating. Such a shame because, last word of each sentence aside, he narrated wonderfully.

Slow start but worth it in the end

Big fan of John Grisham but I got bored from hour 1 to 2 or 3. I was looking for how to get my money back. I stuck with it and did enjoy it for a finish.

Did not like the Narrator

The narrator's breathless style of speaking was not appropriate for this book. It would have been better suited to an erotic novel.
