Search - The Pelican Brief

Two supreme court justices are murdered and a young law student writes a brief that sends her running for her life.

One of Grisham's best...couldn't put this one down ... every page was better than the last ..full of class and suspense!

This book was okay. It's been a long time since I read it.

Good story, but kind of scary to think about.

One of Grishams best, legal thriller takes you through murder, political coverups, Supreme Court Justices, all at at spine tingling clip...fast, exciting read, made into a major movie...

Pretty good. Nothing like the movie, but that's not unusual. An "out to get the big bad corporate guys" book, in that way similar to Runaway Jury.

A definate thrill. Thsi book is 10 times the movie if you saw it. Intriguing and suspenseful as Darby Shaw realizes she is the target for a murder but she must figure out why.

A John Grisham book is always good, but this wasn't my favorite. There were SO MANY CHARACTERS introducted, at least 30, that I had to start writing down who everybody was and refer back to it.

Loved this book and unfortunately movie did not do it justice.

Great book !

The book is so much better than the movie!! Very well written!

John grishim weaves his tale in this legal politcal novel very suspenseful

Never met a Grisham book I did not like

In suburban Georgetown, a killer's reeboks whisper on the floor of a posh home. In a seedy D.C. porno house, a patron is swiftly garroted to death. The next America learns that two of it's Supreme Court justices have been assassinated. In New Orleans, a young law student, Darby Shaw, prepares a legal brief. To Darby, it was no mores than a legal shot in the dark, a brilliant guess. To the Washington establishment, it was political dynamite. Suddenly Darby is witness to a murder--a murder intended for her. Going underground, she finds there is only one person she can trust--An ambitious reporter after a news-break hotter than Watergate. To help her piece together the deadly puzzle. Somewhere between the bayous of Louisiana and the White House inner sanctums, a violent cover-up is being engineered. For someone has read Darby's brief. Someone who will stop at nothing to destroy the evidence of an unthinkable crime.

Two Supreme Court justices are assassinated. In New Orleans, a young law student prepares a legal brief...

I LOVE GRISHAM's WORKS! This is one of my personal favorites, but it is slightly slower than a few of his other works.

great grisham novel
