Welcome Back, John Grisham!! As others have said, this is the type of story that made me fall in love with Grisham's writing many years ago. This could be a great movie like some of the other novels.

Greatly enjoyed it and appreciate the few twists and turns!

I really loved the twists and turns of this one. In retrospect, it all seems unimaginable. But as you read every twist seems unexpected and refreshing. A great read.

Back to the old style - much better than the last few Grisham books that I read.

Really well done. Loved the changing viewpoints and the omniscient narrator. Didn't have a clue what was happening!

Solid procedural heist story. Nothing out of the ordinary, but likeable characters and interesting story. I did not see the twist coming that happened in the final chapters.

So much better than "The Litigators". The book kept my guessing and trying to put the pieces together. Very satisfying read.
