Review: Now this is good and you can't but help yourself from siding with the anti-hero, the titular Partner, who gradually turns from villain to righter-of-wrongs as Grisham peels away the layers of the onion with each carefully paced revelation [enough, maybe too much, said]. Ok so I saw the final twist coming but in many ways I would have been disappointed if I hadn't, or worse still very disappointed if the final twist I anticipated hadn't been there. However reading other reviews I see that many have criticised the ending for being a non-ending, but for me that's the whole point of the final twist and the ending: it's brilliant, emotional and it makes you think even if you saw it coming, so don't be put off by some of the negative reactions. Like all good Grisham's there's an element of a legal basis to the story but there's very little actual court time and no knowledge of the law (particularly US law) is required to understand what's going on, just a sense of right and wrong and fair play, although for us Brits the Federal vs State issues may seem a bit hard to understand. But that said it's a good fast paced read and more importantly it's a great yarn and that's why it's five stars from me.

Review: For me there was little of th e Grisham I expected. The finale was telegraph ed well ahead. As ever the court rot drama was well drawn.
