About this listen

Winner of the British Book Awards, Lifetime Achievement Award, 2007.
They kidnapped him in a small town in Brazil. He had changed his name and his appearance, but they were sure they had their man. Four years before, he had been called Patrick S. Lanigan. He had died in a car crash in February 1992. His gravestone lay in a cemetery in Biloxi, Mississippi. He had been a partner at an up and coming law firm, had a pretty wife, a new daughter, and a bright future. Six weeks after his death, $90 million had disappeared from the law firm. It was then that his partners knew he was still alive.©1997 Belfry Holdings, Inc. (P)2005 Random House Audiobooks

annoying music and sound effects

Great story, well written ad always. Just a horrible shame there's so much distracting background noises and music. Would be far better if they'd just let the reader read, let the story stand alone

The music made me crazy!!!!!

Where does The Partner rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

The Partner ranks probably at the top of the Grisham's I have listened before

What about Michael Beck’s performance did you like?

Love Michael Beck's interpretation of the book

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

The book left me heartbroken

Any additional comments?

The music during the narration did not enhance the book and sometimes got in the way as it was too loud.

Grisham at his best

great story telling by a class act. Grisham knows how to keep you captivated throughout the story.

Disappointing

Could have been great. Would not recommend. Should have picked a different John Grisham book.

One of Grisham’s best - a superb, well narrated thriller

This has been one of my favourite Grisham books since I first read it as a teenager in the late 90s. Just as it’s a great page turner as a thriller, it’s also a compulsive listen with very engaging narration. Well worth buying.
