The Racketeer by John Grisham
3.0

I like John Grisham. He's usually who I turn to for audiobooks when I have a long hike or a long trip. I had been given this book by my boss and had nearly forgotten I had it until I had to move, so I took this with me on a vacation. I have to admit to being disappointed.

It's not a bad story, just certainly not one of Grisham's best. The opening part of the book seems pretty preposterous as does the continuing events, but there was a long stretch of time where I thought Grisham forgot which novel he was working on and entirely switched the story; I'm all for twists, but this was a sharp left turn almost into a wall.

It's really a shame, too, because I wanted to like the book more, but just could not. This one should be at the bottom of the list if you're looking for something to read.
