THE FIRM

THE FIRM by John Grisham

Before taking the dive into John Grisham's newest novel, The Exchange, it was time for a refresher on The Firm.

Fresh out of Harvard Law School, Mitch McDeere is actively sought after by a small, prestigious law firm in Memphis, Tennessee by the name of Bendini, Lambert, and Locke. Making him an offer too good to refuse, Mitch and his wife Abby move to the area and are quickly enveloped in the family-like atmosphere that the firm insists on. But things aren't adding up.

First there is a surprising number of accidental deaths among the associates for the size of the firm. Then Mitch is approached by the FBI looking for insider information. Suddenly what looked like a dream job is turning into the ultimate nightmare. What is going on at Bendini, Lambert, and Locke, and can Mitch and Abby escape it in time?

While there are definitely some "heads up" moments to be aware of, Grisham does an amazing job telling the story in this law firm thriller. How fun it was to discover part of the setting for The Firm is along the Florida Panhandle where I was sitting on one of the beaches while reading this book!

HEADS UP- There is some language to be aware of (no F bombs). There is a lot of sexual type situations. No intimate details, but it definitely gets spicy!
