Good but not outstanding ....typical Grisham style

Not a bad read at all. However, it is certainly not one of Grisham's best. I felt some of the parts were rushed a bit and required some extra detail to fill in the minor uncertainties.

Haven't read a John Grisham for some time. An enjoyable read.

I thought this book was a disappointment . Not up to his earlier standards at all. I found myself losing interest . I didn't seem to care about his characters at all. Not 1st rate . Boring. Writers block?

Very good book. I enjoyed it from start to finish.

Pretty good read for the commute. A bit different as this started with the Florida Bureau of Judicial Conduct then moved to the FBI. As most readers of Grisham know by now there are no characters in these books just cardboard cutouts. His…

A good book - not one of my favorites. Didn't especially his tying up the loose ends in an Epilogue. Probably wouldn't recommend it.

Good story, well-written: Grisham. His best are still the non-lawyer stories: Calico Joe, and Playing for Pizza.

Like all Grisham reads, this was entertaining. Sadly this was far from his best (and I would say the worst of his last three... Grey Mountain and Rogue Lawyer). Dont know why he had to clean up the story in an epilogue instead of the novel…

Another, in a long list of John Grisham duds. His original 5-10 books were quite good, but nothing worth reading since. Last one I will read. Complete waste of time. JL

Really good book. I enjoyed the story. Glad I didn't heed to the bad reviews.

not up to his usual. Looks like he turned in an outline with a few details filled in. He's clearly riding on the coattails of previous work.

Okay, I cannot really bash Grisham because this is the 1st book I have tried to read from this author. But I had to stop after about the 1st quarter because there was no drama, no suspense, no real character development going on. Up to…

He really should have quit after the first ten books, and it's getting worse! Boring plot, no real character development , little suspense.

FINALLY, Grisham has returned to his best writing, like in his first ten books. The Whistler is excellent, a page turner. Loved it!

Nearly didn't read this book due to several negative reviews. Do not know which book these people read as I felt The Whistler was vintage Grisham. Very good book....would recommend.

Grisham never ceases to surprise me as he continually finds new subject matter for his legal thrillers. This time it involves bringing a corrupt judge to justice and finding out she is just the tip of the iceberg.

Very disappointing. I tried to read it twice because Gresham is at the top of my list as an author that knows how to tell a story, but not this time.

An all too plausible scenario and typically Grisham. Much enjoyed.

Odd plot, not engaging, not his usual, etc.,

This is pure John Grisham. Hard to put down.

Didn't like it. Plot dry as dust, very boring.

This has to be one of the most boring books that I have read. Big disappointment from this author.
