Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Literary slugger John Grisham's The Partner is a story about--surprise!--a lawyer in trouble. Patrick Lanigan had been a young partner in a prominent Southern law firm. He had a beautiful wife, a new baby girl, and a bright future. Then one winter night Patrick was trapped in a burning car; the casket they buried held nothing but ashes.
A short distance away, Patrick watched his own burial then fled. A fortune was stolen from his ex-firm's offshore account. And Patrick ran, covering his tracks the whole way.
But, now, they've found him. --Peter Ducasse --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

"Brilliant . . . John Grisham may well be the best American storyteller writing today.""--The Philadelphia Inquirer"
"Masterfully paced and plotted . . . [Each of Grisham's books] should bear a warning to consumers: 'Detrimental to sleep. You may read all night.' "--"The Atlanta Constitution"

I thoroughly enjoyed the Partner. It has more twists and turns than a very twisty thing! I was kept guessing right until the end as to what was going to be revealed next. Definetely Grisham at his best. Go out and buy it!

This was the first Grisham book i read and i have now read 3 of his books and i can firmly say that this still is my favouite. And definatly one of his best books. This book has your attention from the off set! The first few chapters are amazing! Grisham is vivid with his description but doesn't dewell on it. There isn't a slow chapter anywhere in the book, something new is always being unvealed to keep you interested. The overall plot of the book is amazing. Some might say the ending was weak i thought it was good, as long as you don't try to sit down and figure it out. If you just sit back and read the book you will be amazed by what happens and you will have the book finished in no time. A truely great book

This was the first John Grisham I have ever read and I have to say that it was brilliant from start to finish. I have never read a book that was so difficult to put down. An ingenious plot and superb writing made this an incredible story.

Great
This is a typical Grisham novel, grabs you from the first page and keeps running.
I was a late starter on this author but I've been hooked, lined and sinkered.

Grisham on autopilot: a good writer, but an average book.
There's plenty of legal knowledge that's gone into the making of this book. I'm no lawyer, but it certainly all feels convincing. Read more
