Reviews for The Whistler: The Number One Bestseller
another gratifying Grisham tale where David dances round Goliath and lands a knockout punch.
South Coast Register
No one can make the legal fraternity quite as exciting.
West Australian
'Electrifying... carries the reader along one track (innocent man seeks exoneration) only to switch on to another (cat-and-mouse caper) halfway through with delicious, frictionless ease.'
The ... Read more
Grisham introduces a small-town Virginia lawyer named Malcolm Bannister, who's dubiously convicted of money laundering for a drug-lord client, and maps out a revenge plot from his federal penitentiary cell that's twice as elaborate as the one Alexandre Dumas cooked up in The Count of Monte Cristo. Like many a Grisham hero, Mal is a legal insider who knows how to work the system to his advantage. He's also a peculiarly lone wolf, willing to shed all his family ties in pursuit of a very long and entertaining con.
Entertainment Weekly
[T]his is not a story about a triumph or a miscarriage of courtroom justice. It's the more devious, surprising story of a smart man who gets even smarter once he spends five years honing his skills as a jailhouse lawyer
and then expertly concocts an ingenious revenge scheme... Mr. Grisham writes with rekindled vigor here.
New York Times
Hang on to your subpoenas, it's an exhilaratingly fast and dangerous ride.
The Sunday Times
It may seem odd to describe a jigsaw as nail-biting, but that is precisely what John Grisham delivers.
Daily Mail
A fascinating look at judicial corruption - an entirely convincing story and one of Grisham's best.
