I'm a fan of Grisham's other books, but this one was a big let down.
The writing style is compact but the story ran out of steam after the first half. It became an editorial about the election of judges and lost its entertainment value. The last twist of the book was a gratuitous torture of a main character due to his selling out to corporate greed. Overall, it just wasn't a satisfying read, no matter where your politics are.
