Frank Muller's reading of John Grisham's latest and much heralded legal thriller is a testament to his versatility. Muller's offering enlivens an otherwise dull account about what happens when a multi-billionaire gets postmortem revenge on his worthless children and ex-wives by leaving his fortune to an unknown illegitimate daughter. Grisham's first chapter, the best in the book, and Muller's superlative reading promise the listener an exciting and suspense-filled adventure. Grisham, however, gets bogged down. But for Muller's crisp and dependable reading, this reviewer would not have made it to the last chapter. A.L.H. © AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: OCT/NOV 99]
