Title: Grisham returns to form......mostly.
Review: After stumbling a little with THE TESTAMENT, Grisham returns with an excellent thriller. The Brethren tells the story of three incarcerated judges in a federal prison who, in addition to dispensing justice in the prison, run scams on unsuspecting gay men on the outside.As we learn about the three, as engaging a group of rascals as Grisham has ever created, we also learn of the rise of a young congressman, hand picked by a leader in the intelligence community to become President. The would-be President and The Brethren end up crossing path and the usual Grisham complexities erupt.The book moves along at a thriller's pace, but with more humor and wit than we've seen in a while from the author. Hints of Carl Hiaasen creep into the prose. It's as good a 'caper' novel as he's written since the Firm.As always, Grisham's conclusion leaves a little something to be desired. However all in all, a very satisfying book from a master of the genre.
