An eleven-year-old has discovered a secret that not even an adult should know.

A US State Senator is dead, and Mark Sway is the only one who knows where the body is hidden. The FBI want him to tell them where it is, at whatever cost to Mark and his family.

Amazon Review

With her sparkling voice and superb acting ability, Blair Brown gives an impressive reading of this John Grisham blockbuster. The story hinges on a young boy who gets an unwanted earful of murder and politics--and dangerous secrets about both--from a conscience-stricken mob lawyer bent on suicide. "I can tell you where the body is... the most notorious undiscovered corpse of our time". Just the kind of information most children don't need, especially when the snakeskin-wearing hit man finds out what he knows. Aside from musical cues scattered as superfluously as laugh tracks on a sitcom, the production quality is stellar, preserving the crispness of Blair's voice and the nuances of her excellent interpretation. --George Laney, Amazon.com --This text refers to the Audio Cassette edition.

Review

Hard to put down (Daily Telegraph )

Take it from me, this man Grisham spins a damned good yarn and is going to be around for a long, long time (Time Out )

It's gripping enough to be best read in daylight (Sunday Express )

5.0 out of 5 stars Another hit from Grisham 18 July 2005
By Anna Heelas
Format:Paperback
'The Client' is my favouraite Grisham novel. It is a gripping tale, this book is excruating to put down!

While two young boys are in the woods, a man who knows crucial information about a murder investigation tries to kill himself. The eldest boy Mark, a very mature child, tries to stop the suicide and suffers for it. He learns too much information and before long, he has the FBI hounding at his door whilst being attacked from the other side by the mafia. Luckily he stumbles over a lawyer who helps him crawl his way out of the mess.

This is an inspiring and touching read, perfect for holiday or just entertainment. Although all works by Grisham are fantastic, I would say this is one of the best.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great book but could have been considerably shorter. 7 Jun 2000
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
The Client is a worthy read with an intriguing, thought provoking plot. The book manages to keep the readers attention well throughout and culminates in a predictable but exciting finale. I was again hooked after another of Grisham's legendary first chapters and consumed the book in a week. My only complaint is that Grisham placed too greater emphasis on description often holding up the story's flow. As a result I often found myself skimming pages in the middle section and feel that the book could have been significantly shorter. I have, therefore, given it four stars as opposed to its easily achievable five. However, don't let this deter you from reading it, as it really is a classy book. Buy it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Someone is always watching you 16 Aug 2006
By G. M. Buchanan
Format:Paperback
Firstly I must admit to being a John Grisham fan,I have read nearly all of his work. This ranks amongst the best. Two lads are witness to an attempted suicide. One lad attempts to stop the suicde and ends up being caught and dragged into the car with the man. As the fumes fill the car the man tells the boy he was a lawyer for a mafia hit man and proceeds to tell the boy things the FBI would like to know. The boy gets out the car and the man kills himself. It is now a fight between the hit man and the FBI as to who gets control of the boy. A great story full of tension,twists and turns and it will keep you turning pages long into the night. I would have gave it five stars but no one is perfect - although this comes close.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Client
this is the third John Grisham book that I've read. I find his style of writing is fast paced yet not so fast that he doesn't get you involved in the story and the characters. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Somewhat too two-dimensional
An interesting idea, but the characters in Grisham's novels still strike me as somewhat too two-dimensional. Read more
