#1 NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER • Investigator Lacy Stoltz follows the trail of a serial killer, and closes in on a shocking suspect—a sitting judge—in “one of the best crime reads of the year.... Bristling with high-tech detail and shivering with suspense.... Worth staying up all night to finish” (Wall Street Journal).
In The Whistler, Lacy Stoltz investigated a corrupt judge who was taking millions in bribes from a crime syndicate. She put the criminals away, but only after being attacked and nearly killed. Three years later, and approaching forty, she is tired of her work for the Florida Board on Judicial Conduct and ready for a change.
Then she meets a mysterious woman who is so frightened she uses a number of aliases. Jeri Crosby’s father was murdered twenty years earlier in a case that remains unsolved and that has grown stone cold. But Jeri has a suspect whom she has become obsessed with and has stalked for two decades. Along the way, she has discovered other victims.
Suspicions are easy enough, but proof seems impossible. The man is brilliant, patient, and always one step ahead of law enforcement. He is the most cunning of all serial killers. He knows forensics, police procedure, and most important: he knows the law.
He is a judge, in Florida—under Lacy’s jurisdiction.
He has a list, with the names of his victims and targets, all unsuspecting people unlucky enough to have crossed his path and wronged him in some way. How can Lacy pursue him, without becoming the next name on his list?
The Judge’s List is by any measure John Grisham’s most surprising, chilling novel yet.
The Judges ListAnother page turner by one of my favorite authors. Interesting characters, locations, and very descriptive. I wouldn’t want to give anything away!.LacquiltsScore: 5/5
Poor DialogThis book had the oddest dialog cadence between the main characters Jeri and a Lacey. I finished the book but it was nothing like early John Grisham. Found myself wanting to give up!.Ptcmomo5Score: 3/5
Serial killer, not lawyer bookI hadn't read John Grisham in quite some time and I was in a hurry so partly my fault but one expects more of a book about the his cases, twists & the law than a serial killer & a lone 30 something person addicted to sleuth out an answer. I never need to read another serial killer book as long as I live. It seems to be the favorite genre these days in fiction. One can lead the cover pieces about a book and assume it's something completely different, and yet it turns out to be about another serial killer..AmigeeScore: 3/5

Good story butThe overall story line was pretty good. However when the judge pulled out hydrochloride acid tablets at the end it soured for me. Hydrochloride acid is a liquid, there is no such thing as tablets. How he would get a bottle into the resort to accomplish the last step in his obfuscation of his career is unknown.BaylocScore: 4/5

Unsatisfactory EndingAs usual, Grisham’s storytelling and ability to educate the reader is first-rate, but I wasn’t satisfied with the ending. I can’t abide someone not being held accountable for consciously doing something wrong, especially when they do it repeatedly..HeadgsScore: 3/5
A worthwhile read that, for me, didn’t disappointThis author can write without the prattle of profanity, visual sex, and all the props other “ writers “ utilize to feed readers useless imaginary scenes to tantalize their readers baser desires. Mr. Grisham writes with the flair of grace and expertise to provide a well written storyline filled with mystery, intriguing suspense, cerebral thrills and chills, as well as inserting a moral imperative that no matter how upside down our world may be there is always hope that many people will choose to do the right thing for the right reasons. I have never met the man; however, I did visit the campus where he went to university. A young woman with whom I had never met; however, her parents were friends with mine, and she began to write me letters of encouragement during my two years of duty in Vietnam as a Hospital Corpsman. When I returned in March of 1968, and after some leave in my home in Texas, I started driving my new 1968 Olds 442 towards my next duty station in VA. Since my route led me close to Mississippi I took a detour to Oxford and met this kind stranger at her sorority house. We had a delightful visit and I went on my way and she pursued her law degree. I don’t know how her life has been, but I will always be grateful for the friendship she offered during a very unusual time in my life where letters were so important to receive. May God bless America, selfless people, and Mr. John Grisham. J. David Stephenson Thompson’s Station, TN.J DavidScore: 5/5

It was ok.I’ve been reading Grisham for years. I think he’s turned into a pulp author. The Firm, A Time to Kill are of a quality that has passed him by. This book was ok and I finished it but it wasn’t great..Janie's LibraryScore: 3/5

BlooperIn the first book Gunther is a recovered addict who has been sober for years, now in the second book he has a “usual bottle of wine” at lunch. No mention at all about a backslide but his sobriety and addiction were a big part of his character in the first book I’m surprised Grisham or his editors didn’t catch that flub Lots of small inconsistencies in his character development this one was clearly lazy in the rush to publish a follow up. Not nearly as good as the first one.Yer Mom's "Friend"Score: 3/5

Why I Read John GrishamThis is one of Grisham’s best. The king of rollercoaster ride that is typical of a good page turner, just what a reader needs in these very troubled times. I have bought copies as Christmas gifts and am recommending it friends. Read and enjoy! And do stay safe..Burwash ReaderScore: 5/5
TerribleI was excited to get this book and then my excitement turned to positive boredom. I couldn’t believe Mr. Grisham wrote this book. It’s like he had a child write it for him. The writing is horrific, the characters are one dimensional and the plot is as predictable as it is unrealistic. I only got about 1/3 of the way through (and that was by forcing myself to try to read it) before I put it down for good..Rupen35Score: 1/5
