The Client
The Client | John Grisham
In a weedy lot on the outskirts of memphis, two boys watch a shiny Lincoln pull upt ot the curb... Eleven-year-old Mark Sway and his younger brother were sharing a forbidden cigarrette when a chance encounter with a suicidal laywer left Mark knowing a bloody and explosive secret: the whereabouts of the most sought-after dead body in America. Now Mark is caught between a legal system gone mad and a mob killer desperate to cover up his crime. And his only ally is a woman named Reggie Love, who has been a lawyer for all of four years. Prosecutors are willing to break all the rules to make Mark talk. The mob will stop at nothing to keep him quiet. And Reggie will do anything to protect her client -- even take a last, desperate gamble that could win Mark his freedom... or cost them both their lives. BONUS: This edition includes an excerpt from John Grisham's The Litigators.

The movies came out a few years apart, but this one reminded me a little of #standbyme in terms of kids out doing things they weren‘t supposed to be doing and encountering a dead body. #volumesandvocals

Much of what remains in my now 4th year into the John Grisham canon are his early works. I found this one vey compelling and Mark, old beyond his 11 years, stole my heart. I‘d love to read him now as man in his 40s. As I read I kept picture Susan Sarandon in the adaption of Reggie Love - yep, I got that right!

AvidReader25 His early books are so good! I haven‘t read them in years. 1y
dabbe Loved the book and movie. Unfortunately, I believe the kid who played Mark passed away from a drug overdose. He was such a talent. 1y
marleed @AvidReader25 In conversation with a sister in 2018. I made a comment to a sister about JG books. She innocently asked which ones I‘d read. I knew I read some but had no idea which - or if it was the movie. So, I decided to read his canon - the books are so easy to thrift, except for his first book. And now I can say I answered quite honestly because for all I‘ve read in the last 4 years, the specific titles are a blur! 1y
marleed @dabbe Oh that‘s so sad. I think I want to revisit that movie! 1y
AvidReader25 @marleed what a fun idea! I remember reading his books years ago, but it‘s been so long. I‘m sure there are at least a dozen new ones. 1y

Prompt: Primal Fear

This book has also been turned I to a movie.

mommyincolortv I LOVE PRIMAL FEAR! Had no idea it was The Client. 1y
TheSpineView @mommyincolortv It was a good movie! Actually it is based on a book by the same name. I should have been clearer. I meant that the book The Client was also turned into a movie. My bad. 1y
Klou Great choice! 1y

Both were books before becoming films. They both involve a person witnessing a crime.

John Grisham is one of the best writers and you have the phone and a time to kill but I honestly think this is the best book that he‘s done

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This book had me intrigued from page 1. Of course it is not the type of book that will change your life or that you will think of for years to come but it's a real quick read and keeps you guessing.

John Grisham never disappoints. He somehow makes the south likable, even to someone is who no big fan of slow southern drawls and fried pickles. His stories are intriguing and encapsulating. You really can't go wrong with one of his books.
