Featured Book Recommendation: The Rooster Bar
In this featured book recommendation, I am promoting the latest work by John Grisham, The Rooster Bar.
My October Featured Book, The Rooster Bar
I just thought I would share with you the most appropriate quote I have ever read about John Grisham, which is also a critique of The Rooster Bar from the Philadelphia Inquirer, “Grisham is a marvelous storyteller who works readers the way a good lawyer works a jury!” Or the New York Times, “John Grisham is about as good a storyteller as we’ve got in the United States these days.” As quoted from, The Library of Science review.
If you enjoy courtroom drama as I do, you know there is no one better than John Grisham at spinning courtroom thrillers than him. If you have another choice, please feel free to tell all of us in the comment section. I am always looking for new talent, new books on the subject. I also like to read Scott Pratt, Stephen Penner, John Ellsworth, and Sheldon Siegel. Although they have not perfected their craft as well as John Grisham, it is a pleasure to read their crime drama stories.
This has been a very good year for Grisham fans, after The Whistler, Grisham gave us Camino Island, a rousing tale about a daring heist of original manuscripts from the Princeton Firestone Library. The story of the robbery is quite exciting, but the real story is about the little-known, black-market dealer in antique books and manuscripts, Bruce Cable, who owns a small bookstore on Camino Island in the small resort town of Santa Rosa. Mercer Mann, a novelist who has a bad case of writer’s block and recently laid off from her teaching job, goes undercover to discover just what Bruce Cable is really selling.
In The Rooster Bar, Grisham unleashes three law school student on the student loan industry. They discover a scam set up by an edge-fund operator who also owns a bank that specializes in student loans. They initiate an investigation into the scam. You’ll need to buy the book to read the rest of the story. The good news is, you can buy it right here.
