Summary
From the best-selling author of countless legal thrillers, former lawyer John Grisham has done it again with this riveting thrill ride through Florida's justice system. The richly complex plot has plenty of twists and turns involving a corrupt judge, bribes, gangsters and even homicide in a dangerous game that could soon turn deadly.
The most corrupt judge in US history. A young investigator with a secret informant. The electrifying new thriller.
Lacy Stoltz never expected to be in the firing line. Investigating judicial misconduct by Florida's 1,000 judges, her cases so far have been relatively unexciting. That's until she meets Greg Myers, an indicted lawyer with an assumed name who has an extraordinary tale to tell.
Myers is representing a whistle-blower who knows of a judge involved in organised crime. Along with her gangster associates, this judge has facilitated the building of a casino on an Indian reservation. At least two people who opposed the scheme are dead.
Since the casino was built, the judge has made several fortunes off undeclared winnings. She owns property around the world, she hires private jets to take her where she wishes, and her secret vaults are overflowing with rare books, art and jewels. No one has a clue what she's been doing - until now.
Under Florida law those who help the state recover illegally acquired assets stand to gain a large percentage of them. Myers and his whistle-blower friend could make millions. But first they need Lacy to start an investigation. Is she ready to pit herself against the most corrupt judge in American history, a judge whose associates think nothing of murder?

promising to start
It was moderately engaging, tailed off with a narrative towards the end.

EXCELLENT
A return to John Grisham's earlier form. A tight plot with several strands cleverly woven together.
The narration maintained the tension well.
An excellent read - highly recommended.

A good Graham listen
Another good legal story from Grisham. The story was entertaining and I listened to the whole book over the course of a few days. It perhaps wasn't as much of a rollercoaster of twists and turns as some of his other books. That said I would recommend.

Was waiting for Part 2
John Grisham has been one of my favorite authors, but his books recently seemed to run out of steam very quickly, and this again, was one of them. The Whistler start off very good and pulls you in, but where it goes wrong I'd there is no depth. I found the characters very one dimensional. And then it comes to an end! I think it could have gone on a bit longer. Really didn't get on with the person reading. Her put on voices for characters just annoyed me. I'll still be a fan of Mr Grisham, but please let's have a non rushed novel next time.
