#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A high-stakes thrill ride through the darkest corners of the Sunshine State, from the author hailed as “the best thriller writer alive” by Ken FollettWe expect our judges to be honest and wise. Their integrity is the bedrock of the entire judicial system. We trust them to ensure fair trials, to protect the rights of all litigants, to punish those who do wrong, and to oversee the flow of justice. But what happens when a judge bends the law or takes a bribe?
Lacy Stoltz is an investigator for the Florida Board on Judicial Conduct. It is her job to respond to complaints dealing with judicial misconduct. After nine years with the Board, she knows that most problems are caused by incompetence, not corruption.
But a corruption case eventually crosses her desk. A previously disbarred lawyer is back in business, and he claims to know of a Florida judge who has stolen more money than all other crooked judges combined. And not just crooked judges in Florida. All judges, from all states, and throughout United States history. And now he wants to put a stop to it. His only client is a person who knows the truth and wants to blow the whistle and collect millions under Florida law. When the case is assigned to Lacy, she immediately suspects that this one could be dangerous. Dangerous is one thing. Deadly is something else.

Riveting story of crime and justice. Hard to put down, sad to get to the last page.

Disappointing
Most of John Grisham’s earlier books are great, but I’ve noticed since he released Calico Joe his books have gotten worse and that includes this title the Whistler. Take my advice and whistle a little tune to yourself and skip pass this story.

The plot was admittedly boring. I was hoping for more even halfway thru, but it continued to disappoint and I was beyond the point of no return. I love Grisham, but I consider this a sunk cost.

Utterly dreadful. Blithering on and on and on - no character development, and not a Single character who was remotely appealing in Any way. No plot, no point. Just a DREADFUL waste of time - would crawl on ground glass for a refund. sheesh.

The WORST
The worst writing by John Grisham . Complete waste of money and time invested.
rokinrev
It almost tries too hard
[I received this paperback in a GoodReads win,and voluntarily reviewed it. Because I won it, it will not list as a verified purchase] "Beautiful.'It's called intimidation Clyde. That's the name of the game and that's how I run things.'" Lacy Stolz works for the Florida Board of Judicial Conduct, and she's really good at her job. She and her co worker have a case that could have the potential to rock the Florida Court System off its pedestal. Not only was there a corrupt judge, but the "Coast Mafia" and the Tappacola Indian Tribe are mixed up in a case with far reaching connections. And when her car gets totaled, her partner gets killed and she almost loses her life, she is determined to see this case through to it's end. To my thinking, John Grisham and thriller go together. In my opinion,The Firm, was my introduction to crime fiction as I rapidly devoured each of his books ( A Time to Kill is still my favorite) until, one day, I just stopped. He kept cranking them out, but the got a bit too cerebral and formulaic, like he was a professor sharing just too much information. All this to say this is my first Grisham book in a while. I think it was a bit too long with too many plot points. I did love the character Lacy Stoltz and I wanted to drop her brother off the side of a cliff. I do recommend it for its contemporary use of known news and speculation. However, it almost tries to hard.

This book was well constructed, almost too well built. The main characters and overall plot were intricately described for about 80% of the book and moved very slowly. The conclusion, in the last part of the book, moved very quickly to a fairly obvious conclusion. Overall the book was enjoyable, but lacked drama and excitement.

It was good enough to kill time but it was very bland. The story started to build then good overcame and it was over. It was almost like he got tired of writing. This is one of those books you keep by the toilet at home. It'll pass the time but don't expect much more than that.

Local mafia threatens Florida ethics lawyers Who don't carry guns
Gresham writes a great story where fairly normal citizens (including the state attorneys who investigate ethics issues of judges) are put into terrifying situations where their lives are threatened by vicious gangsters who run casinos, real estate scams and murder-for-hire schemes. Intimidation is the name of their game and these gangsters are very good at it.

There is nothing better than a good book you can't stop reading. The worst feeling is when the book ends because you'd love it to go on forever!!! Never read a Grisham book but will definitely look into his others.

Fantastic thrilling read that is probably more fact than fiction, which makes it a scary political problem! Thanks to Grisham for tackling the sensitive issues of crime, casinos, politicians, judicial system and American justice!
Smokin' Hottie
A fantastic book, a must read!
John Grisham at his best! This book is one of Grisham's best works, as good as "The Oelican Brief", "The Rainmaker", and the best of them all, "A Time to Kill". Thank you Mr. Grisham.

From the opening line, to the final word, Grisham's brilliant tale grabs the readers attention and holds on tightly! The twists and turns will keep you on the edge of your seat, as each character comes to life. You won't want to put this one down until you read the ending!
Amigo73
Not his best work
It was really slow going. Overall not engaging. I'd pass. Sorry John. You just can't hit a home run every time at bat.
R. Row
Very shallow
I don't think Grisham actually wrote this. It is that bad!
Robynn300
Loved the suspense
Another well written book by John Grisham. I couldn't put it down because of the suspense. The very end was disappointing. We get to know these characters and their relationships intimately, so we want to know if Lacy and Allie forged a serious relationship and if Verna won her lawsuit. I'm not a writer and I assume a John Grisham had his reason for leaving us hanging.

It is mind-dullingly episodic. Characters not compelling. Mushy story of generalizations. Entertaining but never memorable. Too much coincidence.

Hands Down Grisham's Best Book in Years
Huge fan of Grisham, but am willing to admit that some of his more recent books haven't lived up his earlier works. This book, on the other hand, was hands down his best book in his years, if not in his best. I can overstate how great this book (literally spent 6 hours today finishing it). Job well done, Mr. Grisham!

Another good Grisham read. I thought the book had a slow start. It was a bit hard to care about these characters. After the turning point of the car crash, I was hooked...finished the book in an afternoon.

Fantastic thrilling read that is probably more fact than fiction, which makes it a scary political problem! Thanks to Grisham for tackling the sensitive issues of crime, casinos, politicians, judicial system and American justice!
Smokin' Hottie
A fantastic book, a must read!
John Grisham at his best! This book is one of Grisham's best works, as good as "The Oelican Brief", "The Rainmaker", and the best of them all, "A Time to Kill". Thank you Mr. Grisham.

From the opening line, to the final word, Grisham's brilliant tale grabs the readers attention and holds on tightly! The twists and turns will keep you on the edge of your seat, as each character comes to life. You won't want to put this one down until you read the ending!

Not his best work
It was really slow going. Overall not engaging. I'd pass. Sorry John. You just can't hit a home run every time at bat.
R. Row
Very shallow
I don't think Grisham actually wrote this. It is that bad!
Robynn300
Loved the suspense
Another well written book by John Grisham. I couldn't put it down because of the suspense. The very end was disappointing. We get to know these characters and their relationships intimately, so we want to know if Lacy and Allie forged a serious relationship and if Verna won her lawsuit. I'm not a writer and I assume a John Grisham had his reason for leaving us hanging.

It is mind-dullingly episodic. Characters not compelling. Mushy story of generalizations. Entertaining but never memorable. Too much coincidence.

Hands Down Grisham's Best Book in Years
Huge fan of Grisham, but am willing to admit that some of his more recent books haven't lived up his earlier works. This book, on the other hand, was hands down his best book in his years, if not in his best. I can overstate how great this book (literally spent 6 hours today finishing it). Job well done, Mr. Grisham!

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A high-stakes thrill ride through the darkest corners of the Sunshine State, from the author hailed as “the best thriller writer alive” by Ken FollettWe expect our judges to be honest and wise. Their integrity is the bedrock of the entire judicial system. We trust them to ensure fair trials, to protect the rights of all litigants, to punish those who do wrong, and to oversee the flow of justice. But what happens when a judge bends the law or takes a bribe?
Lacy Stoltz is an investigator for the Florida Board on Judicial Conduct. It is her job to respond to complaints dealing with judicial misconduct. After nine years with the Board, she knows that most problems are caused by incompetence, not corruption.
But a corruption case eventually crosses her desk. A previously disbarred lawyer is back in business, and he claims to know of a Florida judge who has stolen more money than all other crooked judges combined. And not just crooked judges in Florida. All judges, from all states, and throughout United States history. And now he wants to put a stop to it. His only client is a person who knows the truth and wants to blow the whistle and collect millions under Florida law. When the case is assigned to Lacy, she immediately suspects that this one could be dangerous. Dangerous is one thing. Deadly is something else.

Disappointing
Most of John Grisham’s earlier books are great, but I’ve noticed since he released Calico Joe his books have gotten worse and that includes this title the Whistler. Take my advice and whistle a little tune to yourself and skip pass this story.

The worst writing by John Grisham . Complete waste of money and time invested.

It almost tries too hard
[I received this paperback in a GoodReads win,and voluntarily reviewed it. Because I won it, it will not list as a verified purchase] "Beautiful.'It's called intimidation Clyde. That's the name of the game and that's how I run things.'" Lacy Stolz works for the Florida Board of Judicial Conduct, and she's really good at her job. She and her co worker have a case that could have the potential to rock the Florida Court System off its pedestal. Not only was there a corrupt judge, but the "Coast Mafia" and the Tappacola Indian Tribe are mixed up in a case with far reaching connections. And when her car gets totaled, her partner gets killed and she almost loses her life, she is determined to see this case through to it's end. To my thinking, John Grisham and thriller go together. In my opinion,The Firm, was my introduction to crime fiction as I rapidly devoured each of his books ( A Time to Kill is still my favorite) until, one day, I just stopped. He kept cranking them out, but the got a bit too cerebral and formulaic, like he was a professor sharing just too much information. All this to say this is my first Grisham book in a while. I think it was a bit too long with too many plot points. I did love the character Lacy Stoltz and I wanted to drop her brother off the side of a cliff. I do recommend it for its contemporary use of known news and speculation. However, it almost tries to hard.

This book was well constructed, almost too well built. The main characters and overall plot were intricately described for about 80% of the book and moved very slowly. The conclusion, in the last part of the book, moved very quickly to a fairly obvious conclusion. Overall the book was enjoyable, but lacked drama and excitement.

Local mafia threatens Florida ethics lawyers Who don't carry guns
Gresham writes a great story where fairly normal citizens (including the state attorneys who investigate ethics issues of judges) are put into terrifying situations where their lives are threatened by vicious gangsters who run casinos, real estate scams and murder-for-hire schemes. Intimidation is the name of their game and these gangsters are very good at it.

Local mafia threatens Florida ethics lawyers Who don't carry guns
Gresham writes a great story where fairly normal citizens (including the state attorneys who investigate ethics issues of judges) are put into terrifying situations where their lives are threatened by vicious gangsters who run casinos, real estate scams and murder-for-hire schemes. Intimidation is the name of their game and these gangsters are very good at it.

John Grisham used to be m favorite, but his last 3 books have been a little disappointing. This book was good. I consider it a page turner & I couldn't put it down. My only complaint is that it ended so abruptly.

Couldn't put it down.
There is nothing better than a good book you can't stop reading. The worst feeling is when the book ends because you'd love it to go on forever!!! Never read a Grisham book but will definitely look into his others.

Fantastic thrilling read that is probably more fact than fiction, which makes it a scary political problem! Thanks to Grisham for tackling the sensitive issues of crime, casinos, politicians, judicial system and American justice!

A fantastic book, a must read!
John Grisham at his best! This book is one of Grisham's best works, as good as "The Oelican Brief", "The Rainmaker", and the best of them all, "A Time to Kill". Thank you Mr. Grisham.

From the opening line, to the final word, Grisham's brilliant tale grabs the readers attention and holds on tightly! The twists and turns will keep you on the edge of your seat, as each character comes to life. You won't want to put this one down until you read the ending!

Not his best work
It was really slow going. Overall not engaging. I'd pass. Sorry John. You just can't hit a home run every time at bat.

I don't think Grisham actually wrote this. It is that bad!

Loved the suspense
Another well written book by John Grisham. I couldn't put it down because of the suspense. The very end was disappointing. We get to know these characters and their relationships intimately, so we want to know if Lacy and Allie forged a serious relationship and if Verna won her lawsuit. I'm not a writer and I assume a John Grisham had his reason for leaving us hanging.

It is mind-dullingly episodic. Characters not compelling. Mushy story of generalizations. Entertaining but never memorable. Too much coincidence.

Hands Down Grisham's Best Book in Years
Huge fan of Grisham, but am willing to admit that some of his more recent books haven't lived up his earlier works. This book, on the other hand, was hands down his best book in his years, if not in his best. I can overstate how great this book (literally spent 6 hours today finishing it). Job well done, Mr. Grisham!

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A high-stakes thrill ride through the darkest corners of the Sunshine State, from the author hailed as “the best thriller writer alive” by Ken FollettWe expect our judges to be honest and wise. Their integrity is the bedrock of the entire judicial system. We trust them to ensure fair trials, to protect the rights of all litigants, to punish those who do wrong, and to oversee the flow of justice. But what happens when a judge bends the law or takes a bribe?
Lacy Stoltz is an investigator for the Florida Board on Judicial Conduct. It is her job to respond to complaints dealing with judicial misconduct. After nine years with the Board, she knows that most problems are caused by incompetence, not corruption.
But a corruption case eventually crosses her desk. A previously disbarred lawyer is back in business, and he claims to know of a Florida judge who has stolen more money than all other crooked judges combined. And not just crooked judges in Florida. All judges, from all states, and throughout United States history. And now he wants to put a stop to it. His only client is a person who knows the truth and wants to blow the whistle and collect millions under Florida law. When the case is assigned to Lacy, she immediately suspects that this one could be dangerous. Dangerous is one thing. Deadly is something else.

Most of John Grisham’s earlier books are great, but I’ve noticed since he released Calico Joe his books have gotten worse and that includes this title the Whistler. Take my advice and whistle a little tune to yourself and skip pass this story.

It almost tries too hard
[I received this paperback in a GoodReads win,and voluntarily reviewed it. Because I won it, it will not list as a verified purchase] "Beautiful.'It's called intimidation Clyde. That's the name of the game and that's how I run things.'" Lacy Stolz works for the Florida Board of Judicial Conduct, and she's really good at her job. She and her co worker have a case that could have the potential to rock the Florida Court System off its pedestal. Not only was there a corrupt judge, but the "Coast Mafia" and the Tappacola Indian Tribe are mixed up in a case with far reaching connections. And when her car gets totaled, her partner gets killed and she almost loses her life, she is determined to see this case through to it's end. To my thinking, John Grisham and thriller go together. In my opinion,The Firm, was my introduction to crime fiction as I rapidly devoured each of his books ( A Time to Kill is still my favorite) until, one day, I just stopped. He kept cranking them out, but the got a bit too cerebral and formulaic, like he was a professor sharing just too much information. All this to say this is my first Grisham book in a while. I think it was a bit too long with too many plot points. I did love the character Lacy Stoltz and I wanted to drop her brother off the side of a cliff. I do recommend it for its contemporary use of known news and speculation. However, it almost tries to hard.

This book was well constructed, almost too well built. The main characters and overall plot were intricately described for about 80% of the book and moved very slowly. The conclusion, in the last part of the book, moved very quickly to a fairly obvious conclusion. Overall the book was enjoyable, but lacked drama and excitement.

It was good enough to kill time but it was very bland. The story started to build then good overcame and it was over. It was almost like he got tired of writing. This is one of those books you keep by the toilet at home. It'll pass the time but don't expect much more than that.

He kept cranking them out, but the got a bit too cerebral and formulaic, like he was a professor sharing just too much information. All this to say this is my first Grisham book in a while. I think it was a bit too long with too many plot points. I did love the character Lacy Stoltz and I wanted to drop her brother off the side of a cliff. I do recommend it for its contemporary use of known news and speculation. However, it almost tries to hard.

This book was well constructed, almost too well built. The main characters and overall plot were intricately described for about 80% of the book and moved very slowly. The conclusion, in the last part of the book, moved very quickly to a fairly obvious conclusion. Overall the book was enjoyable, but lacked drama and excitement.

It was good enough to kill time but it was very bland. The story started to build then good overcame and it was over. It was almost like he got tired of writing. This is one of those books you keep by the toilet at home. It'll pass the time but don't expect much more than that.

Local mafia threatens Florida ethics lawyers Who don't carry guns
Gresham writes a great story where fairly normal citizens (including the state attorneys who investigate ethics issues of judges) are put into terrifying situations where their lives are threatened by vicious gangsters who run casinos, real estate scams and murder-for-hire schemes. Intimidation is the name of their game and these gangsters are very good at it.

Fantastic thrilling read that is probably more fact than fiction, which makes it a scary political problem! Thanks to Grisham for tackling the sensitive issues of crime, casinos, politicians, judicial system and American justice!

John Grisham at his best! This book is one of Grisham's best works, as good as "The Oelican Brief", "The Rainmaker", and the best of them all, "A Time to Kill". Thank you Mr. Grisham.

Loved the suspense
Another well written book by John Grisham. I couldn't put it down because of the suspense. The very end was disappointing. We get to know these characters and their relationships intimately, so we want to know if Lacy and Allie forged a serious relationship and if Verna won her lawsuit. I'm not a writer and I assume a John Grisham had his reason for leaving us hanging.

Hands Down Grisham's Best Book in Years
Huge fan of Grisham, but am willing to admit that some of his more recent books haven't lived up his earlier works. This book, on the other hand, was hands down his best book in his years, if not in his best. I can overstate how great this book (literally spent 6 hours today finishing it). Job well done, Mr. Grisham!

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A high-stakes thrill ride through the darkest corners of the Sunshine State, from the author hailed as “the best thriller writer alive” by Ken FollettWe expect our judges to be honest and wise. Their integrity is the bedrock of the entire judicial system. We trust them to ensure fair trials, to protect the rights of all litigants, to punish those who do wrong, and to oversee the flow of justice. But what happens when a judge bends the law or takes a bribe?
Lacy Stoltz is an investigator for the Florida Board on Judicial Conduct. It is her job to respond to complaints dealing with judicial misconduct. After nine years with the Board, she knows that most problems are caused by incompetence, not corruption.
But a corruption case eventually crosses her desk. A previously disbarred lawyer is back in business, and he claims to know of a Florida judge who has stolen more money than all other crooked judges combined. And not just crooked judges in Florida. All judges, from all states, and throughout United States history. And now he wants to put a stop to it. His only client is a person who knows the truth and wants to blow the whistle and collect millions under Florida law. When the case is assigned to Lacy, she immediately suspects that this one could be dangerous. Dangerous is one thing. Deadly is something else.

Most of John Grisham’s earlier books are great, but I’ve noticed since he released Calico Joe his books have gotten worse and that includes this title the Whistler. Take my advice and whistle a little tune to yourself and skip pass this story.

The plot was admittedly boring. I was hoping for more even halfway thru, but it continued to disappoint and I was beyond the point of no return. I love Grisham, but I consider this a sunk cost.

Utterly dreadful. Blithering on and on and on - no character development, and not a Single character who was remotely appealing in Any way. No plot, no point. Just a DREADFUL waste of time - would crawl on ground glass for a refund. sheesh.

I hope this was a ghost writer because if it’s not it’s the worst Grisham I’ve read and he’s lost his fastball. Hard to slog through it.

I have read every John Grisham legal novel and this one takes me back to the early days of The Firm and The Pelican Brief. Excellent read!

The WORST
The worst writing by John Grisham . Complete waste of money and time invested.

It almost tries too hard
[I received this paperback in a GoodReads win,and voluntarily reviewed it. Because I won it, it will not list as a verified purchase] "Beautiful.'It's called intimidation Clyde. That's the name of the game and that's how I run things.'" Lacy Stolz works for the Florida Board of Judicial Conduct, and she's really good at her job. She and her co worker have a case that could have the potential to rock the Florida Court System off its pedestal. Not only was there a corrupt judge, but the "Coast Mafia" and the Tappacola Indian Tribe are mixed up in a case with far reaching connections. And when her car gets totaled, her partner gets killed and she almost loses her life, she is determined to see this case through to it's end. To my thinking, John Grisham and thriller go together. In my opinion,The Firm, was my introduction to crime fiction as I rapidly devoured each of his books ( A Time to Kill is still my favorite) until, one day, I just stopped. He kept cranking them out, but the got a bit too cerebral and formulaic, like he was a professor sharing just too much information. All this to say this is my first Grisham book in a while. I think it was a bit too long with too many plot points. I did love the character Lacy Stoltz and I wanted to drop her brother off the side of a cliff. I do recommend it for its contemporary use of known news and speculation. However, it almost tries to hard.

This book was well constructed, almost too well built. The main characters and overall plot were intricately described for about 80% of the book and moved very slowly. The conclusion, in the last part of the book, moved very quickly to a fairly obvious conclusion. Overall the book was enjoyable, but lacked drama and excitement.

It was good enough to kill time but it was very bland. The story started to build then good overcame and it was over. It was almost like he got tired of writing. This is one of those books you keep by the toilet at home. It'll pass the time but don't expect much more than that.

Local mafia threatens Florida ethics lawyers Who don't carry guns
Gresham writes a great story where fairly normal citizens (including the state attorneys who investigate ethics issues of judges) are put into terrifying situations where their lives are threatened by vicious gangsters who run casinos, real estate scams and murder-for-hire schemes. Intimidation is the name of their game and these gangsters are very good at it.

There is nothing better than a good book you can't stop reading. The worst feeling is when the book ends because you'd love it to go on forever!!! Never read a Grisham book but will definitely look into his others.

Fantastic thrilling read that is probably more fact than fiction, which makes it a scary political problem! Thanks to Grisham for tackling the sensitive issues of crime, casinos, politicians, judicial system and American justice!

John Grisham at his best! This book is one of Grisham's best works, as good as "The Oelican Brief", "The Rainmaker", and the best of them all, "A Time to Kill". Thank you Mr. Grisham.

From the opening line, to the final word, Grisham's brilliant tale grabs the readers attention and holds on tightly! The twists and turns will keep you on the edge of your seat, as each character comes to life. You won't want to put this one down until you read the ending!

It was really slow going. Overall not engaging. I'd pass. Sorry John. You just can't hit a home run every time at bat.

I don't think Grisham actually wrote this. It is that bad!
Robynn300
Loved the suspense
Another well written book by John Grisham. I couldn't put it down because of the suspense. The very end was disappointing. We get to know these characters and their relationships intimately, so we want to know if Lacy and Allie forged a serious relationship and if Verna won her lawsuit. I'm not a writer and I assume a John Grisham had his reason for leaving us hanging.

It is mind-dullingly episodic. Characters not compelling. Mushy story of generalizations. Entertaining but never memorable. Too much coincidence.

Hands Down Grisham's Best Book in Years
Huge fan of Grisham, but am willing to admit that some of his more recent books haven't lived up his earlier works. This book, on the other hand, was hands down his best book in his years, if not in his best. I can overstate how great this book (literally spent 6 hours today finishing it). Job well done, Mr. Grisham!

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A high-stakes thrill ride through the darkest corners of the Sunshine State, from the author hailed as “the best thriller writer alive” by Ken FollettWe expect our judges to be honest and wise. Their integrity is the bedrock of the entire judicial system. We trust them to ensure fair trials, to protect the rights of all litigants, to punish those who do wrong, and to oversee the flow of justice. But what happens when a judge bends the law or takes a bribe?
Lacy Stoltz is an investigator for the Florida Board on Judicial Conduct. It is her job to respond to complaints dealing with judicial misconduct. After nine years with the Board, she knows that most problems are caused by incompetence, not corruption.
But a corruption case eventually crosses her desk. A previously disbarred lawyer is back in business, and he claims to know of a Florida judge who has stolen more money than all other crooked judges combined. And not just crooked judges in Florida. All judges, from all states, and throughout United States history. And now he wants to put a stop to it. His only client is a person who knows the truth and wants to blow the whistle and collect millions under Florida law. When the case is assigned to Lacy, she immediately suspects that this one could be dangerous. Dangerous is one thing. Deadly is something else.
Praise for The Whistler

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A high-stakes thrill ride through the darkest corners of the Sunshine State, from the author hailed as “the best thriller writer alive” by Ken FollettWe expect our judges to be honest and wise. Their integrity is the bedrock of the entire judicial system. We trust them to ensure fair trials, to protect the rights of all litigants, to punish those who do wrong, and to oversee the flow of justice. But what happens when a judge bends the law or takes a bribe?
Lacy Stoltz is an investigator for the Florida Board on Judicial Conduct. It is her job to respond to complaints dealing with judicial misconduct. After nine years with the Board, she knows that most problems are caused by incompetence, not corruption.
But a corruption case eventually crosses her desk. A previously disbarred lawyer is back in business, and he claims to know of a Florida judge who has stolen more money than all other crooked judges combined. And not just crooked judges in Florida. All judges, from all states, and throughout United States history. And now he wants to put a stop to it. His only client is a person who knows the truth and wants to blow the whistle and collect millions under Florida law. When the case is assigned to Lacy, she immediately suspects that this one could be dangerous. Dangerous is one thing. Deadly is something else.

Disappointing
Most of John Grisham’s earlier books are great, but I’ve noticed since he released Calico Joe his books have gotten worse and that includes this title the Whistler. Take my advice and whistle a little tune to yourself and skip pass this story.

The plot was admittedly boring. I was hoping for more even halfway thru, but it continued to disappoint and I was beyond the point of no return. I love Grisham, but I consider this a sunk cost.

The WORST
The worst writing by John Grisham . Complete waste of money and time invested.
rokinrev
It almost tries too hard
[I received this paperback in a GoodReads win,and voluntarily reviewed it. Because I won it, it will not list as a verified purchase] "Beautiful.'It's called intimidation Clyde. That's the name of the game and that's how I run things.'" Lacy Stolz works for the Florida Board of Judicial Conduct, and she's really good at her job. She and her co worker have a case that could have the potential to rock the Florida Court System off its pedestal. Not only was there a corrupt judge, but the "Coast Mafia" and the Tappacola Indian Tribe are mixed up in a case with far reaching connections. And when her car gets totaled, her partner gets killed and she almost loses her life, she is determined to see this case through to it's end. To my thinking, John Grisham and thriller go together. In my opinion,The Firm, was my introduction to crime fiction as I rapidly devoured each of his books ( A Time to Kill is still my favorite) until, one day, I just stopped. He kept cranking them out, but the got a bit too cerebral and formulaic, like he was a professor sharing just too much information. All this to say this is my first Grisham book in a while. I think it was a bit too long with too many plot points. I did love the character Lacy Stoltz and I wanted to drop her brother off the side of a cliff. I do recommend it for its contemporary use of known news and speculation. However, it almost tries to hard.

This book was well constructed, almost too well built. The main characters and overall plot were intricately described for about 80% of the book and moved very slowly. The conclusion, in the last part of the book, moved very quickly to a fairly obvious conclusion. Overall the book was enjoyable, but lacked drama and excitement.

It was good enough to kill time but it was very bland. The story started to build then good overcame and it was over. It was almost like he got tired of writing. This is one of those books you keep by the toilet at home. It'll pass the time but don't expect much more than that.

Local mafia threatens Florida ethics lawyers Who don't carry guns
Gresham writes a great story where fairly normal citizens (including the state attorneys who investigate ethics issues of judges) are put into terrifying situations where their lives are threatened by vicious gangsters who run casinos, real estate scams and murder-for-hire schemes. Intimidation is the name of their game and these gangsters are very good at it.

There is nothing better than a good book you can't stop reading. The worst feeling is when the book ends because you'd love it to go on forever!!! Never read a Grisham book but will definitely look into his others.

Fantastic thrilling read that is probably more fact than fiction, which makes it a scary political problem! Thanks to Grisham for tackling the sensitive issues of crime, casinos, politicians, judicial system and American justice!
Smokin' Hottie
A fantastic book, a must read!
John Grisham at his best! This book is one of Grisham's best works, as good as "The Oelican Brief", "The Rainmaker", and the best of them all, "A Time to Kill". Thank you Mr. Grisham.

From the opening line, to the final word, Grisham's brilliant tale grabs the readers attention and holds on tightly! The twists and turns will keep you on the edge of your seat, as each character comes to life. You won't want to put this one down until you read the ending!
Amigo73
Not his best work
It was really slow going. Overall not engaging. I'd pass. Sorry John. You just can't hit a home run every time at bat.
R. Row
Very shallow
I don't think Grisham actually wrote this. It is that bad!
Robynn300
Loved the suspense
Another well written book by John Grisham. I couldn't put it down because of the suspense. The very end was disappointing. We get to know these characters and their relationships intimately, so we want to know if Lacy and Allie forged a serious relationship and if Verna won her lawsuit. I'm not a writer and I assume a John Grisham had his reason for leaving us hanging.

It is mind-dullingly episodic. Characters not compelling. Mushy story of generalizations. Entertaining but never memorable. Too much coincidence.

Hands Down Grisham's Best Book in Years
Huge fan of Grisham, but am willing to admit that some of his more recent books haven't lived up his earlier works. This book, on the other hand, was hands down his best book in his years, if not in his best. I can overstate how great this book (literally spent 6 hours today finishing it). Job well done, Mr. Grisham!

Another good Grisham read. I thought the book had a slow start. It was a bit hard to care about these characters. After the turning point of the car crash, I was hooked...finished the book in an afternoon.

Fantastic thrilling read that is probably more fact than fiction, which makes it a scary political problem! Thanks to Grisham for tackling the sensitive issues of crime, casinos, politicians, judicial system and American justice!
Smokin' Hottie
A fantastic book, a must read!
John Grisham at his best! This book is one of Grisham's best works, as good as "The Oelican Brief", "The Rainmaker", and the best of them all, "A Time to Kill". Thank you Mr. Grisham.

From the opening line, to the final word, Grisham's brilliant tale grabs the readers attention and holds on tightly! The twists and turns will keep you on the edge of your seat, as each character comes to life. You won't want to put this one down until you read the ending!

Not his best work
It was really slow going. Overall not engaging. I'd pass. Sorry John. You just can't hit a home run every time at bat.
R. Row
Very shallow
I don't think Grisham actually wrote this. It is that bad!
Robynn300
Loved the suspense
Another well written book by John Grisham. I couldn't put it down because of the suspense. The very end was disappointing. We get to know these characters and their relationships intimately, so we want to know if Lacy and Allie forged a serious relationship and if Verna won her lawsuit. I'm not a writer and I assume a John Grisham had his reason for leaving us hanging.

It is mind-dullingly episodic. Characters not compelling. Mushy story of generalizations. Entertaining but never memorable. Too much coincidence.

Hands Down Grisham's Best Book in Years
Huge fan of Grisham, but am willing to admit that some of his more recent books haven't lived up his earlier works. This book, on the other hand, was hands down his best book in his years, if not in his best. I can overstate how great this book (literally spent 6 hours today finishing it). Job well done, Mr. Grisham!

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A high-stakes thrill ride through the darkest corners of the Sunshine State, from the author hailed as “the best thriller writer alive” by Ken FollettWe expect our judges to be honest and wise. Their integrity is the bedrock of the entire judicial system. We trust them to ensure fair trials, to protect the rights of all litigants, to punish those who do wrong, and to oversee the flow of justice. But what happens when a judge bends the law or takes a bribe?
Lacy Stoltz is an investigator for the Florida Board on Judicial Conduct. It is her job to respond to complaints dealing with judicial misconduct. After nine years with the Board, she knows that most problems are caused by incompetence, not corruption.
But a corruption case eventually crosses her desk. A previously disbarred lawyer is back in business, and he claims to know of a Florida judge who has stolen more money than all other crooked judges combined. And not just crooked judges in Florida. All judges, from all states, and throughout United States history. And now he wants to put a stop to it. His only client is a person who knows the truth and wants to blow the whistle and collect millions under Florida law. When the case is assigned to Lacy, she immediately suspects that this one could be dangerous. Dangerous is one thing. Deadly is something else.

Disappointing
Most of John Grisham’s earlier books are great, but I’ve noticed since he released Calico Joe his books have gotten worse and that includes this title the Whistler. Take my advice and whistle a little tune to yourself and skip pass this story.

The worst writing by John Grisham . Complete waste of money and time invested.

It almost tries too hard
[I received this paperback in a GoodReads win,and voluntarily reviewed it. Because I won it, it will not list as a verified purchase] "Beautiful.'It's called intimidation Clyde. That's the name of the game and that's how I run things.'" Lacy Stolz works for the Florida Board of Judicial Conduct, and she's really good at her job. She and her co worker have a case that could have the potential to rock the Florida Court System off its pedestal. Not only was there a corrupt judge, but the "Coast Mafia" and the Tappacola Indian Tribe are mixed up in a case with far reaching connections. And when her car gets totaled, her partner gets killed and she almost loses her life, she is determined to see this case through to it's end. To my thinking, John Grisham and thriller go together. In my opinion,The Firm, was my introduction to crime fiction as I rapidly devoured each of his books ( A Time to Kill is still my favorite) until, one day, I just stopped. He kept cranking them out, but the got a bit too cerebral and formulaic, like he was a professor sharing just too much information. All this to say this is my first Grisham book in a while. I think it was a bit too long with too many plot points. I did love the character Lacy Stoltz and I wanted to drop her brother off the side of a cliff. I do recommend it for its contemporary use of known news and speculation. However, it almost tries to hard.

This book was well constructed, almost too well built. The main characters and overall plot were intricately described for about 80% of the book and moved very slowly. The conclusion, in the last part of the book, moved very quickly to a fairly obvious conclusion. Overall the book was enjoyable, but lacked drama and excitement.

Local mafia threatens Florida ethics lawyers Who don't carry guns
Gresham writes a great story where fairly normal citizens (including the state attorneys who investigate ethics issues of judges) are put into terrifying situations where their lives are threatened by vicious gangsters who run casinos, real estate scams and murder-for-hire schemes. Intimidation is the name of their game and these gangsters are very good at it.

Local mafia threatens Florida ethics lawyers Who don't carry guns
Gresham writes a great story where fairly normal citizens (including the state attorneys who investigate ethics issues of judges) are put into terrifying situations where their lives are threatened by vicious gangsters who run casinos, real estate scams and murder-for-hire schemes. Intimidation is the name of their game and these gangsters are very good at it.

I have read 13 of J Grisham's books and loved them all. Not this one though. You would think he would offer a free book every now and then.

John Grisham used to be m favorite, but his last 3 books have been a little disappointing. This book was good. I consider it a page turner & I couldn't put it down. My only complaint is that it ended so abruptly.

Couldn't put it down.
There is nothing better than a good book you can't stop reading. The worst feeling is when the book ends because you'd love it to go on forever!!! Never read a Grisham book but will definitely look into his others.

Another good Grisham read. I thought the book had a slow start. It was a bit hard to care about these characters. After the turning point of the car crash, I was hooked...finished the book in an afternoon.

Fantastic thrilling read that is probably more fact than fiction, which makes it a scary political problem! Thanks to Grisham for tackling the sensitive issues of crime, casinos, politicians, judicial system and American justice!

A fantastic book, a must read!
John Grisham at his best! This book is one of Grisham's best works, as good as "The Oelican Brief", "The Rainmaker", and the best of them all, "A Time to Kill". Thank you Mr. Grisham.

From the opening line, to the final word, Grisham's brilliant tale grabs the readers attention and holds on tightly! The twists and turns will keep you on the edge of your seat, as each character comes to life. You won't want to put this one down until you read the ending!

Not his best work
It was really slow going. Overall not engaging. I'd pass. Sorry John. You just can't hit a home run every time at bat.

I don't think Grisham actually wrote this. It is that bad!

Loved the suspense
Another well written book by John Grisham. I couldn't put it down because of the suspense. The very end was disappointing. We get to know these characters and their relationships intimately, so we want to know if Lacy and Allie forged a serious relationship and if Verna won her lawsuit. I'm not a writer and I assume a John Grisham had his reason for leaving us hanging.

It is mind-dullingly episodic. Characters not compelling. Mushy story of generalizations. Entertaining but never memorable. Too much coincidence.

Hands Down Grisham's Best Book in Years
Huge fan of Grisham, but am willing to admit that some of his more recent books haven't lived up his earlier works. This book, on the other hand, was hands down his best book in his years, if not in his best. I can overstate how great this book (literally spent 6 hours today finishing it). Job well done, Mr. Grisham!

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A high-stakes thrill ride through the darkest corners of the Sunshine State, from the author hailed as “the best thriller writer alive” by Ken FollettWe expect our judges to be honest and wise. Their integrity is the bedrock of the entire judicial system. We trust them to ensure fair trials, to protect the rights of all litigants, to punish those who do wrong, and to oversee the flow of justice. But what happens when a judge bends the law or takes a bribe?
Lacy Stoltz is an investigator for the Florida Board on Judicial Conduct. It is her job to respond to complaints dealing with judicial misconduct. After nine years with the Board, she knows that most problems are caused by incompetence, not corruption.
But a corruption case eventually crosses her desk. A previously disbarred lawyer is back in business, and he claims to know of a Florida judge who has stolen more money than all other crooked judges combined. And not just crooked judges in Florida. All judges, from all states, and throughout United States history. And now he wants to put a stop to it. His only client is a person who knows the truth and wants to blow the whistle and collect millions under Florida law. When the case is assigned to Lacy, she immediately suspects that this one could be dangerous. Dangerous is one thing. Deadly is something else.
Praise for The Whistler

Disappointing
Most of John Grisham’s earlier books are great, but I’ve noticed since he released Calico Joe his books have gotten worse and that includes this title the Whistler. Take my advice and whistle a little tune to yourself and skip pass this story.

The plot was admittedly boring. I was hoping for more even halfway thru, but it continued to disappoint and I was beyond the point of no return. I love Grisham, but I consider this a sunk cost.

Utterly dreadful. Blithering on and on and on - no character development, and not a Single character who was remotely appealing in Any way. No plot, no point. Just a DREADFUL waste of time - would crawl on ground glass for a refund. sheesh.

I hope this was a ghost writer because if it’s not it’s the worst Grisham I’ve read and he’s lost his fastball. Hard to slog through it.

The WORST
The worst writing by John Grisham . Complete waste of money and time invested.
rokinrev
It almost tries too hard
[I received this paperback in a GoodReads win,and voluntarily reviewed it. Because I won it, it will not list as a verified purchase] "Beautiful.'It's called intimidation Clyde. That's the name of the game and that's how I run things.'" Lacy Stolz works for the Florida Board of Judicial Conduct, and she's really good at her job. She and her co worker have a case that could have the potential to rock the Florida Court System off its pedestal. Not only was there a corrupt judge, but the "Coast Mafia" and the Tappacola Indian Tribe are mixed up in a case with far reaching connections. And when her car gets totaled, her partner gets killed and she almost loses her life, she is determined to see this case through to it's end. To my thinking, John Grisham and thriller go together. In my opinion,The Firm, was my introduction to crime fiction as I rapidly devoured each of his books ( A Time to Kill is still my favorite) until, one day, I just stopped. He kept cranking them out, but the got a bit too cerebral and formulaic, like he was a professor sharing just too much information. All this to say this is my first Grisham book in a while. I think it was a bit too long with too many plot points. I did love the character Lacy Stoltz and I wanted to drop her brother off the side of a cliff. I do recommend it for its contemporary use of known news and speculation. However, it almost tries to hard.

This book was well constructed, almost too well built. The main characters and overall plot were intricately described for about 80% of the book and moved very slowly. The conclusion, in the last part of the book, moved very quickly to a fairly obvious conclusion. Overall the book was enjoyable, but lacked drama and excitement.

It was good enough to kill time but it was very bland. The story started to build then good overcame and it was over. It was almost like he got tired of writing. This is one of those books you keep by the toilet at home. It'll pass the time but don't expect much more than that.
