#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From America’s favorite storyteller comes “one of his best legal dramas” (Associated Press): a gripping thriller about a former big-city lawyer who finds herself up against Big Coal—and under attack.

“Yes, Gray Mountain is fiction. But after reading the book, you’ll believe heroic action must be taken.”—USA Today

The year is 2008 and Samantha Kofer’s career at a huge Wall Street law firm is on the fast track—until the recession hits and she is downsized, furloughed, and escorted out of the building. Samantha, though, is offered an opportunity to work at a legal aid clinic for one year without pay, all for a slim chance of getting rehired.

In a matter of days Samantha moves from Manhattan to Brady, Virginia, population 2,200, in the heart of Appalachia—a part of the world she has only read about. Samantha’s new job takes her into the murky and dangerous world of coal mining, where laws are often broken, communities are divided, and the land itself is under attack. But some of the locals aren’t so thrilled to have a big-city lawyer in town, and within weeks Samantha is engulfed in litigation that turns deadly. Because like most small towns, Brady harbors big secrets that some will kill to conceal.

Kritikerröster

“An important new novel . . . Grisham’s work—always superior entertainment—is evolving into something more serious, more powerful, more worthy of his exceptional talent.”—Patrick Anderson, The Washington Post

“John Grisham makes a powerful closing argument against Big Coal, but the message never obscures a satisfying, old-fashioned, good guy/bad guy legal thriller.”—Christian Science Monitor

“Grisham has written one of his best legal dramas in quite some time with this dive into small-town politics. There’s a mystery, but that’s a minor portion of the story. The main thrust that will engage readers is Samantha Kofer and the cast of characters that help her discover her passion.”—Associated Press

Weak story, John Grisham at a low point. Not much a gripping plot. Narrator did a good job.

Weak story

Ett fel uppstod. Försök igen om några minuter.

I have read or heard most of Grisham‘s books and this definitely the least entertaining. Very disappointing, It‘s almost like a low tier romance novel with a totally uninteresting main character, no suspense and even a real conclusion of the story. Avoid.

Disappointing

Was braucht dieses Hörbuch, um für Sie zu einem 4- oder 5-Sterne Hörerlebnis zu werden?

Eine bessere Handlung - ich habe das Buch zu ende gehört und kann immer noch nicht sagen, worum es in der Geschichte ging oder gehen sollte.

Was werden Sie wohl als nächstes hören?

Crash & Burn by Ms. Gardner - die Gute kann nämlich spannende Geschichten schreiben

Welche Figur hat Catherine Taber Ihrer Meinung nach am besten interpretiert?

Die Stimme war OK.

Welche Figur würden Sie in Gray Mountain weglassen?

Samantha - Grisham's Frauenfiguren hatten schon immer einen Hang zum Eindimensionalen. Aber Samantha ist so langweilig und vorhersehbar, dass es nicht mal Spaß macht, was Schlechtes über sie zu schreiben.

Was wäre für andere Hörer sonst noch hilfreich zu wissen, um das Hörbuch richtig einschätzen zu können?

Hört was anderes von Grisham. Sogar seine Kinderbücher sind spannender und nicht so moralinsauer.

*gähn*
