Thirty novels into his nearly three-decade career, John Grisham still makes it look easy. A zombie apocalypse is one thing. It does not. SUSPENSE, by FAMILY LIFE & FRIENDSHIP CRIME & LEGAL THRILLER, by He dresses down trigger-happy cops who come armed with tanks and assault rifles. We’re glad you found a book that interests you. © Copyright 2020 Kirkus Media LLC. | Dark and unsettling, this novel’s end arrives abruptly even as readers are still moving at a breakneck speed. Categories: All this is to be expected in a genre bound by convention as tightly as our perp bound the ankles of his victims, but the reader can see most of the mystery coming from a long way off, making the yarn less effective than most. 4.0 out of 5 stars John Grisham does not disappoint July 2, 2016 Rogue Lawyer is the newest John Grisham legal thriller about defense attorney Sebastian Rudd. Read our review of John Grisham’s ‘Gray Mountain’. In November 2015, the novel was at the top of the New York Times Fiction Best Seller for two weeks. Last fall, he brought out “Gray Mountain,” a superb thriller about the environmental and human wreckage wrought by big coal companies in Appalachia. Beale was the television news anchorman in Paddy Chayefsky’s 1976 dark comedy, Network. And this is all expressed with a blunt, rude, gravelly poetic wiseguy voice that makes Rudd come across as a kind of 21st-century Philip Marlowe ... Rudd is supposed to be one of those superficially unlikeable heroes we end up loving. At times, the characters and the emotional core of the events are almost obscured by such quick maneuvering through the weighty plot. Its opening chapters are self-contained, giving the impression that this will be a collection of short legal suspense stories, rather than a novel. The biggest mystery that “Rogue Lawyer” poses is how Grisham, at this stage in his long writing career, can still devise all these distinctive characters, tricky legal predicaments and roguishly cheating ways to worm out of them.
