À propos de cet audio

#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 Follett

“Riveting . . . an elaborate conspiracy.”—The New York Times Book Review

We 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.

Ce que les critiques en disent

“Riveting . . . finely drawn . . . The Whistler centers on an elaborate conspiracy involving an Indian reservation, an organized crime syndicate and a crooked judge skimming a small fortune from the tribal casino’s monthly haul.”The New York Times Book Review

“A main character who’s a seriously appealing woman . . . a whistle-blower who secretly calls attention to corruption . . . a strong and frightening sense of place . . . Grisham’s on his game.”—Janet Maslin, The New York Times

“A fascinating look at judicial corruption . . . an entirely convincing story and one of Grisham’s best. I can’t think of another major American novelist since Sinclair Lewis who has so effectively targeted social and political ills in our society. In Grisham’s case, it is time at least to recognize that at his best he is not simply the author of entertaining legal thrillers but an important novelistic critic of our society. In more than 30 novels, he has often used his exceptional storytelling skills to take a hard look at injustice and corruption in the legal world and in our society as a whole.”—Patrick Anderson, The Washington Post

“Grisham’s latest involves the rich and powerful and an abuse of the justice system. Grisham novels are crowd-pleasers because he knows how to satisfy readers who want to see injustice crushed, and justice truly prevails for those who cannot buy influence.”Associated Press

“Grisham has become an institution. For more than 25 years now he’s been our guide to the byways and backwaters of our legal system, superb in particular at ferreting out its vulnerabilities and dramatizing their abuse in gripping style. He excels at describing injustice and corruption. Grisham’s legal knowledge is impressive, and his ability to convey it unparalleled in popular fiction.”USA Today

Slow to start and develop story

Narrator did not represent the writer’s characters well - bit of a stuffy British sound - not Grisham style

Not his best...

I really enjoyed this book by John Grisham and found the story line and characters left me wanting to read more. The performance was well done although there were parts that were difficult to distinguish the different personalities and I was wishing for an additional reader. This is the second book I have read about the judges review unit and the personalities that work there. Hope there will be other books along this story line in the future

Great story line, hard to stop reading

I’ve had a great experience listening to other Grisham novels in the past. Once I got started on this listen, I couldn’t stop.

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this very well written crime novel by John Grisham. The narrator's voice is great to listen to. Like all John Grisham books l have read in the past, it is a great crime-thriller anyone can enjoy.

Another Great Read!

OMG Lacy is my favourite character of all time! Tough but we do get glimpses of her softer side, hard working, wanting to get things right & her path is harder being a woman in the job of judging others! I hope we see a lot more of her!

I loved seeing a new perspective of a ‘lawyer’ role when policing/judging the judges of the court system! It’s a fine line that has to be walked when accusations are made against a judge whose sole job is to be the final word on a crime! Loved it!

Oh the tangled web we weave!

It is a typical John Grisham. Good story line and well-written. However, I have yet to finish it because I find the performer is poor, and so very distracting.

Good story, but ...

As the reviews I read before, it was hard to get through the first couple chapters. Then I found myself wanting to get backntonit so I could find out what was going on. maybe a bit rushed on the ending.

I liked it
