Summary

What happened after? The riveting sequel to The Firm, the blockbuster thriller that launched the career of the world’s bestselling author.

What became of Mitch and Abby McDeere after they exposed the crimes of Memphis law firm Bendini, Lambert and Locke and fled the country?

The answer is in The Exchange.

It is now fifteen years later, and Mitch and Abby are living in Manhattan, where Mitch is a partner at the largest law firm in the world. When a mentor in Rome asks him for a favour that will take him far from home, Mitch finds himself at the centre of a sinister plot that has worldwide implications – and once again endangers his colleagues, friends and family.

Mitch has become a master at staying one step ahead of his adversaries, but this time there's nowhere to hide.

Not a sequel to the firm.

This isn’t really a sequel to the firm. Other than than the occasional mention of what happened in the firm, which isn’t necessary for the story, Mitch & Abby could easily have just been substituted for anyone else. The storyline is ok at best, dull at worst & with a very unimaginative & anticlimactic ending. Disappointed.

Um…maybe don’t bother

Being a Grisham fan and having really enjoyed The Firm I purchased this one on spec when it was offered to me. Usually I would at least read a few reviews first. Nicely narrated but not much reference to The Firm and in truth not a page turner, just a bit lacklustre I’m afraid.

Most Enjoyable, not quite 5 star tho.

Found the female hero to be a bit meh. Perhaps I’ve listened to too many Grishams over the past few months. Also didn’t think this particular narrator, though very good, suited this tale.
A fulsome 4 star however, which isn’t an easy achievement!

Underwhelming.

Very disappointed, a nothing story really of a kidnap and a ransom paid. Quite a few loose ends that were never really tied - was the food poisoning staged, was the guy in Libya involved, why involve Abbey, who were the kidnappers and lots of other small points that could/should have been explained. Felt like a very lazily written book with not a lot of thought put to the plot compared to the authors earlier novels which had lots of twists and turns. I was waiting for the final twist or even twists and then it was over in the final 10 mins and possibly the only saving grace was that it didn’t finish on “…then I woke up and it was all a dream”.

Oh no, What a disappointment.

I was really looking forward to this one. Unfortunately John Grisham did not deliver. The plot didn’t go anywhere, the chapters were rambling and the,ending predictable. No twists or great plot reveals. I can hardly believe that the publisher went ahead with this one. I usually love GRISHAM’S novels but perhaps it’s time for him to hang up his laptop and to be remembered for his top rated legal bestsellers.

what a disappointment

I have always enjoyed John Grisham's legal procedurals but this is just jingoist, racist rubbish. When anybody from a hot country is described as swarthy, smelly, dirty, eyes-too-close-together then it has to be stopped.

Who cares about the travails of the largest, richest legal firm in the world?

I’d exchange The Exchange

The story was weak and fairly boring but fleshed out to make a higher page count. I don’t think the author’s heart was in it!!
