***THE GRISHAM YOU'VE BEEN WAITING FOR*** 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, the riveting sequel to THE FIRM, the blockbuster thriller that launched the career of the world's bestselling author. 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.

I usually love a John Grisham book, but was somewhat disappointed in The Exchange. I was expecting to see Mitch, who I will always picture as Tim Cruise, in a huge legal battle in court. Instead, I got a book about trying to free an associate. It just wasn't the usual Grisham book. I couldn't get attached to any of the characters, bc they were only there for a bit. 3.5⭐

Perhaps more like 3.5. Definitely not the strongest Grisham novel, in that lots of the action takes place off stage, and there‘s lots of narration of travel and movement, rather than of the mechanisms of the plot itself. Still relatively compelling but I could have been more invested in the details.

Sequel to The Firm, which seems so long ago…fifteen years later, and Mitch and Abby are living in Manhattan, where Mitch is a partner at the largest law firm in the world. Mitch finds himself at the center of a sinister plot that has worldwide implications…

I listened to this today while de-Christmasing the house. I liked it, but I think there were parts that would have bored me trying to read it because of all the necessary moving parts to tell the story. Like some Grisham stories, it left me feeling torn at the end. Definitely worth the time if you liked Mitch and Abby McDeere in The Firm and would like to root for them again!

“The Firm” was my first Grisham. I loved it & was hooked on his stories for many years. It‘s been a while since I read one, but I couldn‘t pass up reading about what Mitch & Abby are up to now- 15 years after the Firm ended. For all Grisham fans, check this one out.

The Exchange is full of suspense and more thrilling moments than I can count. With a slow build to pull you in it soon becomes impossible to put the book down.

Aside from finding it odd this exited right from a death row legal thriller to become a story of international intrigue, it‘s a good book.
Mitch is now a NYC partner in a law firm spanning the world and Abby is a cookbook editor. …Funny thing is, Mitch and Abby are 15 book years older and I‘ve loved them for 30 IRL years- all I wanted was to read either or both of them in every scene and hear about their personal lives with their twin boys!

Square Books delivered the most beautiful, signed first edition of John Grisham‘s latest novel, The Exchange, to my mailbox. This book is a follow-up to The Firm and I can‘t wait to find out what happened to Mitch and Abby McDeere!

Square Books is a top notch independent bookseller, in Oxford, Mississippi. They have a website that makes ordering signed first editions online ultra convenient. I was surprised to see the extra goodies in the box.

This was actually a soft pick for me which was surprising as it‘s a Grisham book, and I usually enjoy them across the board. This takes up with Mitch McDeere (from The Firm) 15 years after his perilous escape from a corrupt law firm in Memphis. Now in Manhattan, Mitch is a partner at the world‘s largest law firm and is asked to fly to Libya to document construction of Gaddafi‘s desert “bridge to nowhere”that his client is suing for payment of. 🔻

robinb Then things go seriously haywire (to say the least) and terror ensues. Mitch and his wife Abby are thrust into the middle of a sinister plot that sees them struggling to help secure an exchange involving multiple countries, millions of dollars and the safety of their own family. Unfortunately, this didn‘t give me the excitement factor that I was expecting. There‘s some violence and a few harrowing moments, but mostly it felt a lot like 🔻 8mo
robinb it was trying to make a few political statements. It was rather slow in parts, and there was so much flying around in private jets that I had both whiplash and jet lag, with most of the hurried travel accomplishing nothing and not even necessary. And unfortunately the denouement fell flat for me. I love Grisham, but for me this was not one of his best efforts. 3/5⭐️ 8mo
Bookzombie I wonder if Tom Cruise will pick it up for a movie. 😄 7mo
robinb @Bookzombie I was wondering the same thing! 🤣 Mitch is like 41ish in this one…not sure if Tom could swing that one, but maybe?! 😆🤷🏻‍♀️ 7mo
Bookzombie @robinb lol, yeah I‘m not sure about 41ish. 😄 7mo
