Publisher Description
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Investigator Lacy Stoltz follows the trail of a serial killer, and closes in on a shocking suspect—a sitting judge—in “one of the best crime reads of the year.... Bristling with high-tech detail and shivering with suspense.... Worth staying up all night to finish” (Wall Street Journal).
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 forty, 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 twenty 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.

"The Judge's List is a gripping courtroom drama that grabbed my attention from the very first chapter and did not let go throughout my roadtrip. Mary-Louise Parker's narration is truly wonderful and adds an extra layer of depth to an already engaging storyline. Grisham's signature style of legal storytelling is on full display, making this audiobook a must-listen for fans of the genre. Highly recommended!"

" Grisham's latest legal thriller, narrated by the incomparable Mary-Louise Parker, is a must-listen audiobook. Parker's narration lends a strong emotional depth to the complex characters and their stories. Grisham's plot is fast-paced, and the story is filled to the brim with suspense and twists that I found absolutely thrilling. "

" The Judge's List fails to live up to the author's acclaimed reputation. The plot lacks originality and the characters are flat and predictable, which left me feeling underwhelmed. Parker's narration is commendable, but not enough to redeem the audiobook's shortcomings. "

" Sadly The Judge's List was a disappointment overall. Despite Grisham's reputation for thrilling legal dramas, the plot was lackluster and the characters were one-dimensional. Even Parker's narration (which is actually quite good) couldn't save this book. "
