It's been such a long time since I read a John Grisham novel, and now I wonder what gave me the idea I should have stopped in high school. The books is very engaging, wonderful characters and styled with such details of setting as is often impossible to find in thrillers. Great read.

What can I say? It's Grisham at his best once again! Unfortunately he kept me up all night. Bad Bad Grisham... Truly enjoyable, suspenseful and a good read.

The Italy parts were fairly interesting, but overall this was just meh. I felt like it was trying to be too many things, and I would have preferred the Italy stuff to be toned down (as much as I do love Italy) in favor of a better supported political conspiracy drama. Characters were introduced and then never resolved. What happened with Lugi or Francesca or Rudolph? There just wasn't any consistency.

I liked this story, but I like most of Grisham's works. Creative, interesting, and an easy read.

The blurb and the book were two different stories.


Also, we spent far too long learning Italian.
