The Judge’s List starts slowly as the informant reveals a smidgeon of information during each meeting. Numerous contacts occur at differing locations between Lacy and the informer. Grisham describes the scenery as Lacy drives to each meeting and the area in careful detail. But nothing much happens.
Grisham uses this lead-up to interject a drawn-out information dump detailing Lacy’s previous investigation of a judge who worked with The Coast Mafia to arrange the construction of a large casino on Native American land. The judge, crime syndicate, and tribal leaders embezzle large monthly payments. Present and former characters are also introduced.
I could only read a chapter at a time before becoming bored and putting the book down to do something more interesting. Each time I picked up the book to read another chapter, it was only with reluctance. I didn’t want to continue reading, and after seven chapters, I finally gave up. It’s a shame because I enjoyed the first book in the series. ( )
