Description
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • John Grisham has a new hero ... and she’s full of surprises.
The year is 2008 and Samantha Kofer’s career at a huge Wall Street law firm is on the fast track—until the recession hits and she is downsized, furloughed, and escorted out of the building. Samantha, though, is offered an opportunity to work at a legal aid clinic for one year without pay, all for a slim chance of getting rehired.
In a matter of days Samantha moves from Manhattan to Brady, Virginia, population 2,200, in the heart of Appalachia, a part of the world she has only read about. Samantha’s new job takes her into the murky and dangerous world of coal mining, where laws are often broken, communities are divided, and the land itself is under attack. But some of the locals aren’t so thrilled to have a big-city lawyer in town, and within weeks Samantha is engulfed in litigation that turns deadly. Because like most small towns, Brady harbors big secrets that some will kill to conceal.
Don’t miss John Grisham’s new book, THE EXCHANGE: AFTER THE FIRM!
Reviews
Pretty good
3By Hair diva 24Very slow start but overall Good readWhat a letdown
1By Roknrony1950The first half was written by Grisham and was a page turner. Abruptly a second writer took over the writing and screwed it up. What a piece of beetle dung.Grey mountain
3By GillybocargoI have read several books buy this Author and really enjoy his style of writing. This was a good read although I did not like how it just finished without closer on the many topics in the midst of the story. GillybocargoInteresting
4By sheriff's daughterLearned about strip mining for coal. Sad situation.Hope…..
4By gwrPlain Jane, flat laid out, unembellished raw honesty, looking not for a way out, but for a breath of life after cessation thereof. Finally a ray of light in the midst of total darkness.Superb!
5By ShanrobzCouldn't put it down!Love it
5By Ambiz5Great Read 🥳🥳🥳🥳Excellent
5By Kozan11Excellent read from beginning to end. By the end I couldn’t stop reading until I finished the book. You feel you really know the characters and hope and cheer for the good guys and want the bad guys to go down.Meh
3By Bain.SidheI’ve been a big fan of Grisham’s work for decades, but this one disappointed me. The characters seemed more like annoying stereotypes than real people, and the plot was relatively predictable.Too much wokeness
1By FH 2561Too much wokeness, which is any.
