Resumen del Editor

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • John Grisham delivers high-flying international suspense in a stunning legal thriller that marks the return of Mitch McDeere, the brilliant hero of The Firm.

“A breathtaking update on the McDeeres and the life they made . . . Grisham, in vintage form, ratchets up the suspense in this winning sequel.” —The Wall Street Journal

What became of Mitch and Abby McDeere after they exposed the crimes of Memphis law firm Bendini, Lambert & Locke and fled the country? The answer is found in The Exchange, the riveting sequel to The Firm, the blockbuster thriller that launched the career of America’s favorite storyteller. It is now fifteen years later, and Mitch and Abby are living in Manhattan, where Mitch is a partner at the largest law firm in the world. When a mentor in Rome asks him for a favor that will take him as far as Istanbul and Tripoli, Mitch finds himself at the center of a sinister plot that has worldwide implications. Once again Mitch’s colleagues, friends, and family are targeted. Mitch is a master at staying one staying one step ahead of his adversaries, but this time there’s nowhere to hide.

Don’t miss John Grisham’s latest novel, Camino Ghosts, and the upcoming Framed, his first work of nonfiction since The Innocent Man!

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Narrator Edoardo Ballerini masterfully narrates this sequel, reacquainting listeners with Mitch and Abby McDeere 15 years after their harrowing misadventures in THE FIRM.... Ballerini leverages his talent with accents as the action moves back and forth from New York to Rome, Libya, Morocco, and Maine. Impressively, Ballerini also finds credible voices for Abby, who plays a big role, and for the McDeeres' twin 8-year-old sons.... The result is a well-narrated audiobook." (AudioFile)

Editorial Review

The long-awaited sequel to The Firm does not disappoint
Edoardo Ballerini delivers a suspense-filled performance of this sequel to John Grisham’s bestselling 1991 novel (and the 1993 film starring Tom Cruise), The Firm. It’s been 15 years since Mitch and Abby McDeere fled Memphis. They’re now living in Manhattan with their 8-year-old twin sons, and Mitch is a partner at one of New York’s biggest law firms. When a colleague is kidnapped in Libya, Mitch must navigate international intrigue to thwart the impending execution and come up with the staggering $100 million ransom. Ballerini’s taut narration pairs well with Grisham’s short chapters, perfectly building up the urgency of the story’s drama for a thrilling, pulse-pounding listen. —Margaret H., Audible Editor

Not a worthy sequel

Story had no conflict or suspense. Kept waiting for something interesting to happen and then it was over.

Sigh

I reread The Firm to refresh myself before jumping into The Exchange: After The Firm. (Terrible title)

A running line from The Firm is, "The Mafia never forgets." It is repeated so many times that you would have thought Mr Grisham would have at least remembered it. Never = 15 years, I guess, because this book takes place in 2005 and tells us that it's been 15 years since the first book several times. Mitch and Abby got bored with hiding and decided Living in New York and having high-profile jobs was (I guess) safe. And although in The Firm, Mitch says more than once that he is sick of being a lawyer and says that he could never ever be a lawyer again after handing case files over to the FBI, guess what... he's a lawyer. Why, he's even a partner at a big firm.

Now, there are a lot of "almost" plot points in this book that seem to be important and end up going absolutely nowhere. So many, in fact, that I lost count after 12. Any tension that starts to build immediately and constantly deflates because the characters get distracted by breakfasts, lunches, dinners, pretty views, and most importantly, where their next drink will come from. I mean, drinking wine (or beer, or liquor, or ANYTHING THEY CAN GET) is more important in this book than any chick-lit rom-com or Hallmark movie. It just sort of ends with a "kind of" resolution that really only resolves one or two things. I get the feeling that we are supposed to feel grateful to have been told this epic story and now finally know what happened to Mitch and Abby McDeer. I am not grateful; I am sad (and a little bitter) that I got excited and wasted time reading it. They were better off left to my imagination; they were certainly happier and so was I.

Henry Hill becomes Jack Ryan?

Congrats to Mr. Grisham for taking a beloved character and plot line and following up with such a bad taste in my mouth for the quest of more money

A couple of "'Member Berries" to bring the bait and switch of the year.

Mitch is back, but slower, lacking all his guile and hustle. so Mitch is Pseudo Mitch at best
Abby and even Lamar Quinn get tossed in for window dressing. (REMEMBER US? WE WERE THE ZEITGEIST OF 30 YEARS AGO)

If marketed as a novel on it's own merits, it would be passable (as Grisham has become)
Instead its shameful to destroy one of your best works and say this was a continuation.

Take the money, but feel dirty please.
you're work is as despicable as your antagonist

Huge Disappointment

I can't believe this uninspired, dull story was actually written by Mr. Grisham and the performance was spectacularly over-dramatized.
As a faithful and loyal fan of his work, I was greatly disappointed and would NOT recommend this book.

Not a worthy followup to The Firm

The story felt superficial and unrealistic—I didn’t understand the characters’ actions or decision making. Too bad because I loved the characters in The Firm.

What a waste

Boring story. No intrigue, No excitement, No suspense. Shouldn’t be called The Exchange but instead The Snore A Thon. The narrator was the best part. Don’t waste your credit

Not worth the time

There was very little to the story. It was not intriguing or suspenseful. Definitely not Grisham best.

Did Grisham really write this?

Looked forward to this release. Mitch is a great character. Storyline not up to his usual high standards. Missed opportunity for great series. I have enjoyed many Grisham novels. This one falls flat for me.

Gruesome and predictable with lots of unnecessary sidetracks and details.

Whole premise is contrived. Story is stretched thin aimlessly. Too much graphic and morbid imagery.

Disappointed

Sadly was disappointed. Kind of dragged on without much of an interesting exciting story. Even until the end was waiting for the big reveal.
