The broker

A nice enough read, a wild-goose chase and some immersion into the Italian language and culture (the bit I liked the most)
It's been a while since I've read a book of this sort and having spent most of last year reading books by non-white authors, I can see the stark difference in narratives. It's interesting but I much prefer the value of small, everyday stories and characters.

That said, Italian is going up a little on my list of languages to learn.

I really enjoyed this book. The majority of the action takes place in Bologna, Italy and involves walking around the city.

This is a pretty good story, but (a) the writing is not great and (b) it was apparently an excuse for Grisham to spend a lot of time in Italy eating and drinking. If you're into all things Italian, you might like it

Quite enjoyable thriller with Grisham showing that he has been on holiday to Bologna. Probably.

Good book. Grisham has deviated a little from his normal style (no courtrooms).
