The Racketeer
By: John Grisham
Genre: Mystery
Pages: 340
Published: 2012
Read: September
3 out of 5
I usually don’t read prolific authors
and have not read Grisham in a long time. However, when on vacation and your Kindle
dies you read what is available. A
reader cannot critique an author like Grisham – his writing is superb, his
research (if necessary) is evident, his characters and storyline are well
developed. Therefore, one can only
critique the story itself, which will obviously vary by each and every reader. I felt this story was catching and very
exciting… at the beginning. Then as it
continued it became very predictable, even the twist at the end wasn’t earthshattering.
I expected less predictability from
Grisham as in some of his older works I have read. Of course, with a great plot and well
developed novel, if you don’t mind the possibility of figuring out the thriller
The Racketeer is an enjoyable quick
read – just not one of my ordinary and preferred genres.
