I’m a Grisham fan. This one kept me engaged, but it wasn’t his best. Interesting concept, but it was all over the place in terms of plot and hard to keep up with at times.

an okay Grisham story

I love a good extortion plot. Once you figure out how everything unfolds, I think it dragged a bit for me. Otherwise, I thought the story was genius and really enjoyed it!
