Thrills? Check. Fast-paced? Check. Checking in with characters from previous novels and the requisite visit to Italy? Check. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Despite all these, I still had some reservations after finishing this book, a sort of sequel to The Firm which may have been the first book I read by John Grisham. I\u2019ve really enjoyed his books over the years, and this one was similarly enjoyable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is a lot of international intrigue here. Visits to Morocco, Libya, Italy, London. There is a tense countdown as our heroes rush to try to save a hostage\u2019s life. And there are mysterious people watching their movements as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Despite the book ending with a resolution to the main story, I was left wondering how this mysterious group kept tabs on the situation. How did they know about their histories from the first book? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Certainly it is possible that these things will be answered in a future book, but I felt like if that were the case then there\u2019d be some indications near the end of this book. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Still, if you don\u2019t mind knowing the other side of the story I\u2019m sure you\u2019ll enjoy this book. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Next I am reading Foundryside by Robert Jackson Bennett.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
