A US Senator has been murdered and 11-year-old Mark Sway is the only one who might know where the body is. Threatened by the New Orleans Mafia and frightened for his family, Mark stumbles into the office of lawyer Reggie Love and hires her. The FBI wants to subpoena him, the Mafia is threatening, and Mark's family can't be moved because his younger brother is in the hospital. This detailed legal thriller had me turning the pages because of its non-stop action and unforgettable characters. Highly recommended for beach reads or airplanes. There has only been one book that kept me from going to work and "The Client" is that book. I started it one evening and could not put it down. I read all night long and into the next day until I finished it. 0.016 seconds to build listing no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Amazon.com Audiobook Review (ISBN 0440213525, Paperback)With her sparkling voice and superb acting ability, Blair Brown gives an impressive reading of this John Grisham blockbuster. The story hinges on a young boy who gets an unwanted earful of murder, politics--and dangerous secrets about both--from a conscience-stricken mob lawyer bent on suicide. "I can tell you where the body is... the most notorious undiscovered corpse of our time." Just the kind of information most children don't need, especially when the snakeskin-wearing hit man finds out what he knows. Aside from musical cues scattered as superfluously as laugh tracks on a sitcom, the production quality is stellar, preserving the crispness of Blair's voice and the nuances of her excellent interpretation. (Running time: 6 hours, 4 cassettes) --George Laney(retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:24 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
