Description

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the master of legal thrillers, a page-turning classic of “suit-and-dagger suspense” (The New York Times): At the top of his class at Harvard Law, Mitch McDeere had his choice of the best firms in America. He made a deadly mistake.
 
Don’t miss John Grisham’s new book, THE EXCHANGE: AFTER THE FIRM, coming soon!

For a young lawyer on the make, it was an offer Mitch McDeere couldn’t refuse: a position at a law firm where the bucks, billable hours, and benefits are over the top. It’s a dream job for an up-and-comer—if he can overlook the uneasy feeling he gets at the office. Then an FBI investigation into the firm’s connections to the Mafia plunges the straight and narrow attorney into a nightmare of terror and intrigue. With no choice but to pit his wits, ethics, and legal skills against the firm’s deadly secrets—if he hopes to stay alive…

    The Firm is one of the first books I read by John Grisham. For being the first book he published, I didn’t think it was as good as most other books I’ve read by him, but it came close! The Firm is suspenseful, thrilling, and scary! I’ve also watched the movie. It’s been several years since the one and only time I watched the movie, but I remember it just well enough to know that the book, not surprisingly, was better! I’m a definite fan of the author, having read 11 of his books, The Firm included. To his fans, I recommend this one just as much as all of his other books, which are terrific reads!

    I was not much of a reader until i read Grisham's The Last Juror. My mother owns Grisham's entire collection, so I was somewhat knowledgable of his work. I watched the entire TV series The Firm and really wanted to know what lead to the events of the show. I decided to buy this e-book and I couldn't stop reading it. A great book, indeed. I plan to read Grisham's entire collection too.

    This was an extraordinary suspense novel. To me, it is the best of the John Grisham legal thrillers. He was in his prime during this time.

    Great medium length read with enough thrills and twists to keep me interested. Great balance of plot and description including building depth into the characters without going so far as to make the reader lose interest. I'll definitely read him again.
