Summary
What happened after? The riveting sequel to The Firm, the blockbuster thriller that launched the career of the world’s bestselling author.
What became of Mitch and Abby McDeere after they exposed the crimes of Memphis law firm Bendini, Lambert and Locke and fled the country?
The answer is in The Exchange.
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 favour that will take him far from home, Mitch finds himself at the centre 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.

Um…maybe don’t bother
Being a Grisham fan and having really enjoyed The Firm I purchased this one on spec when it was offered to me. Usually I would at least read a few reviews first. Nicely narrated but not much reference to The Firm and in truth not a page turner, just a bit lacklustre I’m afraid.

Not a sequel to the firm.
This isn’t really a sequel to the firm. Other than than the occasional mention of what happened in the firm, which isn’t necessary for the story, Mitch & Abby could easily have just been substituted for anyone else. The storyline is ok at best, dull at worst & with a very unimaginative & anticlimactic ending. Disappointed.

Most Enjoyable, not quite 5 star tho.
Found the female hero to be a bit meh. Perhaps I’ve listened to too many Grishams over the past few months. Also didn’t think this particular narrator, though very good, suited this tale.
A fulsome 4 star however, which isn’t an easy achievement!

Underwhelming.
Very disappointed, a nothing story really of a kidnap and a ransom paid. Quite a few loose ends that were never really tied - was the food poisoning staged, was the guy in Libya involved, why involve Abbey, who were the kidnappers and lots of other small points that could/should have been explained. Felt like a very lazily written book with not a lot of thought put to the plot compared to the authors earlier novels which had lots of twists and turns. I was waiting for the final twist or even twists and then it was over in the final 10 mins and possibly the only saving grace was that it didn’t finish on “…then I woke up and it was all a dream”.

Dull as dishwater
I really wish I had read reviews before I embarked on this dull book.
I only stuck to the end because of The Firm, the two books feel like they were written by completely different authors.
Save yourself the bother, the characters and story are both flat.

Mitch mcdeere airmiles
Missed opportunity to catch up with a great character from mr Grishams earlier work, slow and no depth of character. Still don’t know who the culprit was

Would not have believed that John Grisham could be so boring. Don’t bring Mitch back

'A Time To Kill' it ain't, but it's OK
The story is OK, but credulity is stretched at some points, not least, as others have pointed out, that you're supposed to accept that serious organised crime won't exact revenge on those who brought them down because a) it was a long time ago and b) lots of them were arrested. That whole concept needed more wrangling and needed to be sold more convincingly, in this novel.
Grisham never rose to the heights of his debut novel, 'A Time To Kill', again (in my view), but if his follow-up novels are more modest achievements, I can forgive him that because 'A Time To Kill' reached near-stratospheric levels of storytelling.
This story involves a lot of looking back, and it's a transparent attempt to capitalise on the success of the first novel a couple of decades later.
I've consumed the story twice, so it can't have been that bad - I read it rather distractedly on a long-haul flight, and it passed the time, then I heard the audio version at home (I use audiobooks as a healthier alternative to sleeping pharmacology, and on that level, this worked fine).
But it's a novel that stands alongside those of lesser writers, which is perhaps where Grisham is now.
