I thought the main character Lacy Stoltz came across rather unpleasant and unhappy in this book compared to how her character was in the first book.

Thank you libro.fm for my ALC! I quite enjoyed this Grisham novel. The last I read from him was "A Time for Mercy" and it was a little lackluster to me; it lacked that satisfying "justice is served" taste I crave from this author (the obvious problem there is "mercy" is in the title, but I didn't feel it was adequately dished out either.) All that to say The Judge's List hit the spot for me. I enjoyed the main character, Lacy, as much as I did in Whistler, though I don't find her relatable. There were enough lighthearted personal moments to make the heavier content palatable, but of course there was plenty of tension and nail-biting suspense as well. All in all, The Judge's List was a thoroughly enjoyable novel well worth the time to read/listen to it.
