The Judge’s List – John Grisham

Catching up on the books I read while in Hawaii (or, in the case of this one, on the airplane on the way to Hawaii) on vacation.

When a woman contacts the Florida Board on Judicial Conduct with a compelling theory. but little proof, that a sitting judge is a serial killer, Lacy Stoltz has to decide whether to pursue the case.  The judge seems untouchable, but when the contact connects him to a new murder, one where a complication led to an unplanned killing, the road to finding actual proof reveals itself.  Lacy brings in the FBI, and, together, they draw down on the rogue judge.  Can they stop him before he kills again?

The Judge’s List, the latest offering from John Grisham, is my first exposure to his work in nearly nine years.  It is his second book to feature Lacy Stoltz and the Florida Board on Judicial Conduct, but, thankfully, he does a good job of making the earlier work unnecessary for new readers.  This was a nice re-introduction to Grisham’s work and I hope to catch up on more of it in the future.
