It was nice to revisit these characters again and parts of the story were compelling but mostly it was reading about the travel itinerary of Mitch, Abby and the others involved. I feel like it could have been much shorter and more exciting.

I suppose when you get as famous and John Grisham you can ignore trivial things… like the plot.
I would say spoilers ahead but genuinely I’m not sure what there is to spoil.
Spoiler(???) Alert (!!!)
Robert Langdon oops I meant Mitch (I get so confused with my unreasonably fit attractive 40-something men at the peak of their career) is living his life as a big shot lawyer.
He gets staffed on a project to represent a Turkish firm to get reimbursed on a Libyan bridge project that went south. The dream team is him and a beautiful lawyer named Giovanna.
Giovanna gets kidnapped, and Mitch has a matter of days to raise 100mil.
I fear that John Grisham’s agent was pushing him a little too hard for a sequel. Perhaps he cracked under the pressure. Perhaps he asked Chat GPT “hey. My agent really wants a sequel to The Firm from me. Can you write a sequel that will make sure that my readers never ask for a sequel ever again?”

I’ve enjoyed several Grisham legal thrillers, and I loved The Firm, so I was excited to read this sequel. After several pages of the author pushing his own objectifying opinions of the female characters bodies and anti-fat bias toward male characters, I’d had enough.

An easy read with mild tension. Feels like a movie plot. Lots of world travel providing a beautiful backdrop to a storyline of kidnapping and ransom.
