The Racketeer

by John Grisham
Hennepin County Library audiobook 10 CDs
genre: crime, intrigue
read by J.D. Jackson

Jackson's vocal work was excellent and I appreciate that the story wasn't overboard with swearing. I didn't like the second half where Nathan Cooley was being yanked around, but it made sense when I got to the end. Not sure why Jeff recommended it to me . . . I'll have to ask him. I like how clever Malcolm / Max was. I don't like the fictional look at the insides of our country's FBI, judicial, and other systems which can be so corrupt and wasteful. I know Grisham made up the story, but a lot of this nasty stuff really happens and I find it discouraging.
