THE LITIGATORS

John Grisham has the legal thriller down pat, and his audiobooks are often enhanced by the performance of narrator Dennis Boutsikaris. As he has done in other Grisham novels, Boutsikaris lends a touch of whimsy to the process that lets the listener know that everything is going to work out. He makes a good book even better. This story begins with a burned-out lawyer who jumps ship and seeks comfort in a boutique firm, only to become embroiled in a legal miasma. Worse, he is the only one who can save the day when slam-dunk litigation against a big drug company goes south. He has to put aside his courtroom naïveté and battle the big boys to save his new firm.
