The EXCHANGE
John Grisham
Synopsis
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 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 far from home, Mitch finds himself at the center of a sinister plot that has worldwide implications—and once again endangers his colleagues, friends, and family. Mitch has become a master at staying one step ahead of his adversaries, but this time there’s nowhere to hide.
Richard says
John Grisham can usually be relied on to write exciting, even suspenseful courtroom dramas. The Firm is a perfect example. There are many others, especially the stories that feature his lawyer character, Jake Bragance. Unfortunately, The Exchange doesn’t fit the mould. It has far too many lapses into tedious boredom, too many extraneous details and characters that simply confuse and bog the story down.
I really can’t remember much about this book and would say it is not indicative of the high calibre writing for which Grisham is noted. Not recommend .
