Series ✦ Penny’s Take 🎧 Audiobook
The Judge's List: A Novel
John Grisham · 2021
🎙 Narrated by Mary-Louise Parker (Random House Audio), with an exclusive introduction read by author John Grisham
76/100
👍 Worth It
Grisham gives you a genuinely chilling villain in a judge smart enough to stay ahead of the law, and the cat-and-mouse chase earns the praise Kirkus gave it. The listen is a real treat too - Mary-Louise Parker's narration got singled out by AudioFile, and Grisham reading his own introduction is a nice bonus you won't get in the print edition.
