Histoire
Mark, Todd, and Zola came to law school to change the world, to make it a better place. But now, as third-year students, these close friends realize they have been duped. They all borrowed heavily to attend a third-tier, for-profit law school so mediocre that its graduates rarely pass the bar exam, let alone get good jobs. And when they learn that their school is one of a chain owned by a shady New York hedge-fund operator who also happens to own a bank specializing in student loans, the three know they have been caught up in The Great Law School Scam.

Histoire
In the small Florida town of Seabrook, a young lawyer named Keith Russo was shot dead at his desk as he worked late one night. The killer left no clues. There were no witnesses, no one with a motive. But the police soon came to suspect Quincy Miller, a young Black man who was once a client of Russo’s. Quincy was tried, convicted, and sent to prison for life. For 22 years, he languished in prison, maintaining his innocence. But no one was listening. He had no lawyer, no advocate on the outside.

Histoire
All trails became dead ends. Tips that had at first seemed urgent now faded away. The waiting game began. Whoever had the manuscripts would want money, and a lot of it. They would surface eventually, but where and when, and how much would they want? The most daring and devastating heist in literary history targets a high security vault located deep beneath Princeton University. Valued at $25 million, the five manuscripts of F. Scott Fitzgerald's only novels are amongst the most valuable in the world....

Histoire
It is 1944 and weeks before D-day. The Allies are disguising their invasion plans with a phony armada of ships and planes. Their plan would be ruined if an enemy agent found out...and then The Needle - Hitler’s prize undercover agent, a cold and professional killer - does just that. Hunted by MI5, he leads a murderous trail across Britain to a waiting U-boat. But he hasn't planned for a storm-battered island and the remarkable young woman who lives there.

Histoire
The incomparable master of the legal thriller takes us deeper into the labyrinth that is the American justice system, always drawing us in with an irresistible hook, pulling the thread of tension tighter and tighter, and then knocking us out with a conclusion that's never "by the book". Maybe that's why, after more than 20 years of consecutive number-one New York Times best sellers, a new novel by America's favorite storyteller is still a major publishing event.

Description
Number-one best-seller John Grisham returns with his most suspenseful thriller yet.
Given the importance of what they do, and the controversies that often surround them, and the violent people they sometimes confront, it is remarkable that in the history of the USA only four active federal judges have been murdered.
Judge Raymond Fawcett just became number five.
His body was found in the small basement of a lakeside cabin he had built himself and frequently used on weekends. When he did not show up for a trial on Monday morning, his law clerks panicked, called the FBI, and in due course the agents found the crime scene. There was no forced entry, no struggle, just two dead bodies - Judge Fawcett and his young secretary.
I did not know Judge Fawcett, but I know who killed him, and why.
I am a lawyer, and I am in prison.
It's a long story.
Commentaires
"Grisham is brilliantly comic in a novel that is full of zest and brimming with memorable characters and rich storylines." (The Sunday Times)
"Superbly plotted legal thriller." (Sunday Express)
"The best thriller writer alive" (Ken Follett, Evening Standard)

Hung Jury
I could not reach a unanimous decision on this book.
The Racketeer kept me engaged throughout, yet as I listened I found myself waiting for drama that did not eventuate. Not that there wasn't drama in this book, it just wasn't as dramatic as I expected. I enjoyed the characters and the story, but found the surprise ending a bit unrewarding.
J.D. Jackson was excellent, keeping the characters nicely separated within a predominantly first-person narrative.

WORTH THE CREDIT
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I haven't listened to a John Grisham for a while so had forgotten what a good storyteller he is. It had enough twists and turns to keep it really interesting . Definitely recommend.

Not your usual legal thriller.
This is not actually a 'legal thriller', more like "one man against the system". Our Hero tells the story of he schemed to get out of jail and this plot line climaxes about halfway though the book, so you know that there will be more twists in the tale. Without spoiling things too much, the second half of the book sees the tables turned as Our Hero goes on the offensive to try to get some satisfaction.
I enjoyed the pacing, which made me want to listen just a little bit longer to see where the cunning plan was going. The narrator was good and I can recommend this as something in the genre that is also a little bit different.

Excellent and not just court room
Fine story and nice surprises. The twists are not entirely predictable yet there is a level of detail in the narrative, which leaves very few options for the final revelation. Massively entertaining; a perfect summer holiday listen.

A big disappointment...
Any additional comments?
I just listened to two other John Grisham books, The Firm and Sycamore Row, which I loved. However, The Racketeer is simply an ordinary story with juvenile dialog. There is no suspense and very little seems to happen. I didn't care what was going to happen and couldn't even finish it.

Twists and Turns All the way
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Very enjoyable story with Grishams own way of delving into the ironies of the law.
Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
No boring bits in this one.
Any additional comments?
Loved this book, entertaining to the end.

A slightly faster pace needed but a good story..
I enjoyed the listen but the pace of events was a little slow at times and this detracted from the enjoyment.
An interesting twist of events in the story that I hadn't seen coming from afar and the reading was very well done. I will need to check out other Grisham books before I know whether this pace is typical.

Empfehlung für Gisham-Fans + Lob für den Sprecher
Im Vergleich mit den ganz großen Grisham-Werken hat dieses Buch vielleicht einige kleinere Schwächen. Es ist aber auf jeden Fall eine gelungene Geschichte mit spannenden und unvorhersehbaren Wendungen. Sehr gut hat mir die Leistung des Sprechers gefallen. Wegen der einen kritischen Stimme möchte ich für Herrn Jackson eine Lanze brechen. Gerade sein Akzent und seine ruhige gelassene Art des Vorlesens passen gut zu den Charakteren und sind sehr angenehm für die Ohren.

gute Story, aber der Leser...
Dieser unterschwellige Südstaatenakzent des Sprechers ist zwar zur Geschichte passend, aber trotzdem lahm und teilweise schwer zu verstehen. Trotzdem spannend.

super spannendes Hörbuch, super gelesen !!!!
wie eigentlich immer, eine super Grisham Story, fantastisch vorgetragen, da die Hauptperson ein Farbiger ist, passt J.D. Jackson als Vorleser perfekt, ein echtes Muss...

Disclaimer unnötig
Typisch Grisham: ein vom Rechtssystem Überrollter rappelt sich wieder auf, aber es gibt hinter dem offensichtlichen Plot noch eine zweite Geschichte. Nur dass der hier derart losgelöst und scheinbar aus heiterem Himmel in der zweiten Hälfte loslegt, dass man sich am Ende wirklich fragt was da eben ablief?
Keine Frage: die Geschichte ist handwerklich gut ausgeführt und der Vortrag von J. D- Jackson ist brilliant. Aber ganz im Ernst: was soll der Plot?
Den Disclaimer am Ende, dass der Autor auf keinerlei reales Ereignis oder Personen Bezug nimmt, hätte er sich sparen können.
