#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “An original, gripping, penetrating novel . . . Grisham is not only the master of suspense but also an acute observer of the human condition.”—David Grann, author of Killers of the Flower Moon and The Wager

October 1946, Clanton, Mississippi

Pete Banning was Clanton, Mississippi’s favorite son—a decorated World War II hero, the patriarch of a prominent family, a farmer, father, neighbor, and a faithful member of the Methodist church. Then one cool October morning he rose early, drove into town, and committed a shocking crime. Pete’s only statement about it—to the sheriff, to his lawyers, to the judge, to the jury, and to his family—was: “I have nothing to say.” He was not afraid of death and was willing to take his motive to the grave.

In The Reckoning, John Grisham takes us on an incredible journey, from the Jim Crow South to the jungles of the Philippines during World War II, from an insane asylum filled with secrets to the Clanton courtroom where Pete’s defense attorney tries desperately to save him.

Reminiscent of the finest Southern Gothic storytelling and layered with Grisham’s signature legal suspense, The Reckoning delivers on every page.

Kritikerröster

“A murder mystery, a courtroom drama, a family saga. . . . The Reckoning is Grisham’s argument that he’s not just a boilerplate thriller writer. Most jurors will think the counselor has made his case.”—USA Today

“Cleverly subversive . . . Grisham continues the rich literary tradition of Southern authors confronting a culture of white supremacy.”—The Washington Post

“The quest for justice is only the beginning in this Southern-family saga . . . Grisham does so much more this time around.”—Associated Press

“John Grisham is not only the master of suspense but also an acute observer of the human condition. And these remarkable skills converge in The Reckoning—an original, gripping, penetrating novel that may be his greatest work yet.”—David Grann, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Killers of the Flower Moon and The Wager

“John Grisham is the master of legal fiction, and his latest starts with a literal bang—and then travels backward through the horrors of war to explore what makes a hero, what makes a villain, and how thin the line between the two might be.”—Jodi Picoult, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Small Great Things and By Any Other Name

“In this saga of love and war, John Grisham has given us a sprawling and engrossing story about a Southern family, a global conflict, and the kinds of secrets that can shape all of us. From the courtrooms and jails of rural Mississippi to the war-torn Pacific, Grisham spins a tale that is at once entertaining and illuminating.”—Jon Meacham, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Soul of America

“When a master of storytelling and suspense takes on one of the most wrenching stories in history, the result is a book that will break your heart, set your blood pumping and your mind racing, and leave you gasping for breath by the final page. I’m still trying to recover from The Reckoning.”—Candice Millard, New York Times bestselling author of The River of Doubt and Destiny of the Republic

Story plätschert über größere Teile eher vor sich hin; im Ganzen unterhaltsam, aber nicht packend

Lange nicht so spannend wie andere Grishams

Ett fel uppstod. Försök igen om några minuter.

I'm not sure what the exact intention was with this story. But it feels like a lot of mundane storytelling that shi be build-up to something that never comes?! Interesting through some stretches, but definitely not something I would listen to again.

Some good parts, mostly boring

Die Geschichte kommt ein wenig langatmig rüber. Die Kriegsabenteuer und der sehr gute Sprecher peppen die Story ein wenig auf.

Mich hat die Erzählung total gepackt, über die Geschichte der Philippinen im 2. Weltkrieg wusste ich gar nichts, diesen Teil fand ich extrem brutal, gleichzeitig sehr informativ. Und immer wieder das Thema Rassismus und die Auswirkungen. Brillant gelesen und natürlich brillant erzählt

Sehr spannende verwickelte Geschichte

Dieses Buch ist nicht, was ich von Grisham erwartet habe. Grisham‘s Stories sind immer schwer verdaulich und gehen extrem unter die Haut. Hier lässt sie einen aber schon fast deprimiert zurück, angesichts der Sinnlosigkeit des Verbrechens. Die stundenlange Geschichte über den Krieg auf den Philippinen muss man mögen oder nicht..... ich mochte sie. Begeistert war ich vom Sprecher!!! Phantastisch wie er die Dialekte und verschiedenen Personen gemeistert hat! Großes Lob!

Story not my favourite but great reader
