About this listen

Worldwide best-seller John Grisham will keep you on the edge of your seat with his most suspenseful thriller yet.

America's greatest storyteller brings us a new masterpiece of legal courage and gripping suspense - and his finest heroine since The Pelican Brief.

Donovan Gray is ruthless and fearless. Just the kind of lawyer you need, deep in small-town Appalachia.

Samantha Kofer is a world away from her former life at New York's biggest law firm. If she is going to survive in coal country, she needs to start learning fast.

Because as Donovan knows only too well, the mountains have their own laws. And standing up for the truth means putting your life on the line....

Very entertaining

This book has a bit of everything in it. Romance, suspense, relationship issues and has highs and lows. The pros & cons of mining and job loss is a very current issue.

Expected more

Felt the story hadn't reached its end, left hanging on what happens to the court cases.

Not the best of John Grisham

I kept listening, thinking it'll get better and it didn't. I didn't like the accent either.

Oh Dear!!!!

Where does Gray Mountain rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

It's up there with other good books I have read but it is not great.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Gray Mountain?

The end!!!!!!!!!

What does Catherine Taber bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

The characters.

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

I wouldn't it has such a dreadful ending with no hint of a sequel.

Any additional comments?

This had all the makings of a great novel but to end it on such a way was the last straw for me. Is there a sequel coming out???

Slow

Slow is an understatement. Also, the narrator keeps mispronouncing Appalachia! Very annoying. I’m used to Americans mispronouncing words but it still gives me the shits.

Sudden Ending

I enjoyed this book, however I feel like only half the story has been told.

Not what I was expecting.

What happened to the author of The Firm and The Rainmaker and other good books. I felt a bit 'cheated' with Gray Mountain and expected more.

What a painful lead character

This story dragged itself along like a three legged dog and was repetitious and slow.

The lead character, Samantha, was a completely unsympathetic, detached, cynical and uninteresting woman who failed to improve in the telling.

The subject, coal mining and its dreadful human and environmental impacts, had the makings of a ripping narrative which Grisham absolutely failed to deliver.

Don't waste your money. It's writing by numbers.

Very disappointing

I spent hours listening to this waiting for something exciting to happen but there was nothing .It had the potential to be a great story but it just does not come together and you are left with an unfinished story ... plus the naration was very flat the same depressed sounding voice wether having sex, hearing a shooting or in court etc there is just no change ..I love John Grisham books but sadly I cannot recommend this one ...
