From the Sunday Times and New York Times best-selling author, a new legal thriller about a man who might be the most criminal sitting judge in American history.

In The Whistler, Lacy Stoltz investigated a corrupt judge who was taking millions in bribes from a crime syndicate. She put the criminals away, but only after being attacked and nearly killed. Three years later, and approaching 40, she is tired of her work for the Florida Board on Judicial Conduct and ready for a change.

Then she meets a mysterious woman who is so frightened she uses a number of aliases. Jeri Crosby's father was murdered 20 years earlier in a case that remains unsolved and that has grown stone cold. But Jeri has a suspect whom she has become obsessed with and has stalked for two decades. Along the way, she has discovered other victims.

Suspicions are easy enough, but proof seems impossible. The man is brilliant, patient and always one step ahead of law enforcement. He is the most cunning of all serial killers. He knows forensics, police procedure and most important: he knows the law.

He is a judge, in Florida - under Lacy's jurisdiction.

He has a list, with the names of his victims and targets, all unsuspecting people unlucky enough to have crossed his path and wronged him in some way. How can Lacy pursue him without becoming the next name on his list?

The Judge's List is by any measure John Grisham's most surprising, chilling novel yet.

slow burning legal thriller

Reviewed in Australia on 15 December 2021

Verified Purchase

Favourite authors are such because when you begin a new book, you get transported to a comforting space engrossed in a new familiarity. John Grisham is one such story teller and The Judges List is the second Lacy Stoltz saga. This time, a woman with many aliases makes a startling accusation that one of Florida’s favourite judges is a murderer but not only that, a serial killer with numerous victims spanning twenty years. The problem is there is no hard evidence or even connection between the various crimes. With circumstantial evidence and coincidence, the Florida Board on Judicial Conduct investigates. So begins the narrative of a slow burning legal thriller with all the Grishman hallmarks and a five-star read raring.

Entertaining read but ...

I enjoyed this story until a huge plot contradiction made it all a bit meaningless.

SPOILERS AHEAD

We discover early on that Jeri believes a judge has murdered her father 20 years ago- and several other people since then. She has been too scared to go to the police for years as she thinks this judge will know and will kill her too.
She insists on anonymity when she makes her complaint to Lacey but then Jeri sends mocking letters to the judge telling him that he is being investigated.
Yes it does add to the suspense that the judge knows but why does Jeri do that? Why didn't Jeri just use an alias and give the police the information years ago? The whole point of getting Lacey to investigate is supposedly so that the judge can't find out - although why he wouldn't know about Lacey's investigation when he would know about the police is never really explained.
But then Jeri sends him a letter and tells him anyway?
I simply can't get over this. It spoilt the whole book for me.

here come the judge

Great read, and something a little different from a Grisham. Working its way from a theory to a full blown investigation, and then a crisis, before a conclusion that was not 100% conclusive, but provided some closure. Always good to get into a Grisham novel.

It's the finish that does it

I am generally a fan of John Grisham when it comes to the Courthouse and Law issues as i believe that is his bag, no doubt about. In a couple of his books he has got away from that and the novel has suffered. Here he his back in the groove. The book starts off a little slow then it has a dip in the middle where the plot slows down in the speed at which the killer is tracked, but boy does it get going in the last 1/3rd. and finishes spectacularly with a truely unexpected turn with justice prevailing. The daughter of one of the victims is spectacular throughout and completes her task at the end. John Grisham great to see you back to your usual.

A fractured tale of serial murder, believable only in America

Reviewed in Australia on 2 December 2021

Verified Purchase

Like cartoon characters all make their appearance at the right moment, and struggle their way through divided jurisdictions. Not incredible, just pushing the bounds of belief. Grammatically short phrases, no depth of character, not a top effort.

Grisham has pulled off a real suspenseful novel. I’ve lost a few hours following the story of Lacy, Jeri, and Bannick.
The end came too quickly and lots of details were left. I’ll get over it

A different write for Grisham

Reviewed in Australia on 26 November 2021

It was more of a crime thriller than the usual stories I have read in the past for JG. I found it a little scary at times. Not as interesting to read that I have had in the past from him though.

Excellent read

Reviewed in Australia on 11 November 2021

I really liked this book. At least it has a decent ending and not like some others where you are left with some improbable happening. There was a couple of loose issues that the story didn't deal with so I knocked off 1 star. Thoroughly recommended though.

Average Grisham

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 October 2021

Not his best. Overall idea interesting enough, but no character development. Both main plot and romantic subplot ended clumsily. I have got the impression before that JG seems to write a book by number of pages and pretty much wind things up when that number are reached regardless of where the plot has matured.

I thought it was good then I realised it wasn’t

I have read every book by this author. Although this is better than his last couple of books, it promises much but doesn’t deliver. The theory of the plot is good but there are a number of failings. The end is not very good. No explanation of the change of mind. It’s a page turner but overall, disappointing. It just puzzles me who such a great writer has gone so downhill.

Disappointing

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 November 2021

I normally buy John Grisham books as soon as they appear, as my husband and I both enjoy them. However, this one was a big let down. It felt almost as if it was written by two different people. It starts off interestingly with a woman who has tracked down a serial killer who has remained undetected by the law. She involves the Bureau of Judicial Conduct, as the man is a judge, and there is some interesting back and forth while both parties size each other up. Then the action switches to the murderer, and the book becomes so tedious that I skipped parts. The murderer is a computer savvy loner who surfs through private government websites and keeps ahead of the game. The ending of the book is quite predictable. There are unexplained contradictions. For example, the informant is adamant about high security, investigations are kept secret, her name is not divulged. But she takes it on herself to send the murderer anonymous notes revealing that she knows his secret. Why on earth would she tip him off in this way? Not credible. Perhaps the author had a big bill to pay and churned out something third rate. Next time I'll wait till the book is 99p.

Grisham is a fantasy writer and i was looking forward to the new book. Disappoint ! A slow and very confused start, almost did not bother to continue. It does pick up but also too many highs and lows. Overall it was interesting and i accually enjoyed it. Sorry, but this is not one of his best.

Not one of Grishams best.

Have read all Grishams novels to date and this is not the best of truth be told. Ending( and I will not spoil it) felt as if he ran out of ideas!! Plot was quite dry and it took me about a week to read instead of a couple of days,started Michael Connelly new novel yesterday and will finish today. Connelly still knows how to hook the reader unfortunately Grisham is losing his edge with this and the Camino island books
