Many thanks to NetGalley and Doubleday for gifting me a digital ARC of the sequel to The Firm by John Grisham - 4 stars!
In the years after Mitch exposed all the corruption happening in his Memphis law firm, he and his wife, Abby, now have a new life in NYC with their twin boys. A colleague and friend from Rome summons him to ask for his help on a huge construction project lawsuit, and asks that his daughter, Giovanna, a law associate, help Mitch. They head to Libya but Mitch gets sick and Giovanna is forced to go on her own. Then the worst happens and she is kidnapped. Mitch and Abby are suddenly in the midst of a terrorist negotiation.
I love John Grisham's books but this is not a legal thriller as you might expect. It's certainly a compelling thriller but more in the vein of terrorists and international politics. I kept trying to figure out how Abby got so involved, and I never quite felt the connection to any of the characters. But it's still a new John Grisham book and a must read!
