Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I had anticipated that this would be an exciting and tightly written thriller, and I downloaded it a few minutes after it became available, but I was disappointed. This is not a whodunnit, we are told the names of the killer and the principle protagonists from the beginning of this book. It is very slow to develop, and follows predictable plot lines every step of the way. There is virtually no action in this book, very little suspense, no twists, no thrills. About 80% of the way through, the story starts to heat up and becomes briefly entertaining, but that action peaks almost immediately and then the story falls into a continued long and drawn out anti-climax. It ends and I wondered why I spent hours reading this book. I read quite a few and liked Grisham’s earlier novels. I could not get excited about this one at all.
