She put the criminals away, but only after being attacked and nearly killed. Three years later, and approaching forty, she is tired of her work for the Florida Board on Judicial Conduct and ready for a change. Then she meets a mysterious woman who is so frightened she uses a number of aliases. Jeri Crosby’s father was murdered twenty years earlier in a case that remains unsolved and that has grown stone cold. But Jeri has a suspect whom she has become obsessed with and has stalked for two decades. Along the way, she has discovered other victims. The man Jeri holds responsible for all these deaths is brilliant, patient, and always one step ahead of law enforcement. He is the most cunning of all serial killers. He knows forensics, police procedure, and most important: he knows the law. He is a judge, in Florida—under Lacy’s jurisdiction. But the man keeps a record of all his victims and targets, people unlucky enough to have crossed his path and wronged him in some way. Lacy must work to take him down, while somehow keeping her name off his list. Review: Grisham Being The Master Of The Legal Thriller... Again - John Grisham is pretty much the owner of his own niche of books: the legal thriller. There are many other authors who write this type of book, but it is Grisham who stands at the very top. Almost forty legal thriller novels, over 300 million books in print, etc. From the first one published in 1989, his legal thrillers have gone number one consistently. He's so good as an author, at plotting, at character building, at dialogue, at velocity, etc., he's the master. He most often will take a specific subject, in this latest outing, serial killers who are also sitting judges, research the subject thoroughly, and weave the facts and context and motivations into a story which draws us deeper and deeper with each paragraph. This latest, "The Judge's List," is, in my opinion, one of his best. To be writing at his best after 40 years on the job says a lot about how truly skilled he is. Grisham gives us Lacy Stoltz, an experienced investigator at the Board of Judicial Conduct in Florida, a backwater, sleepy agency which investigates complaints against judges. She gets a cold call from Jeri Crosby, whose father was killed 20 years ago. She has spent those 20 years tracking down her father's killer, and has discovered that the killer has killed at least ten other victims, using the exact same technique: a blunt instrument to the head, and a nylon rope tied around the neck with a unique knot at the end. Crosby believes the killer is a sitting judge; she files a complaint against the judge with Lacy, who is obligated by law to investigate all complaints. Thus, Grisham sets up an intriguing story—Lacy involves the various agencies and instruments of state, local and federal government to investigate and ultimately reveal the judge's crimes. How they unite and work together, how they track the judge, how they almost get killed by the judge, and how they ultimately solve the case, is Grisham at his best. When Grisham has wandered into fields outside the legal thriller neighborhood, such as his sports books and his young adult books, I felt that he was good, but not great. With every one of his legal thrillers, I always felt like I was reading the master. And so it is with "The Judge's List," Grisham at his best, giving us exactly what we want in a legal thriller. Can't wait for his next one. Review: Great read-Hoping Grisham makes this a series - Wow, this was very good. I kept coming back to it when I should have been doing other things, like sleeping. I truly hope to see more novels with the investigations of Lacy and gang, and her irritating but sometimes hilarious brother Gunther. ## Images ![The Judge's List: A Novel - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71N7vj5cSkL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Language, Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Grisham Being The Master Of The Legal Thriller...

I kept coming back to it when I should have been doing other things, like sleeping. I truly hope to see more novels with the investigations of Lacy and gang, and her irritating but sometimes hilarious brother Gunther. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Four and a half stars... but it's Grisham, you know. *by E***B on December 27, 2022* Lacy Stoltz investigates corrupt judges for the Florida Board on Judicial Conduct. She does not investigate murders. Or so she tries explaining to Jeri Crosby, who's made more progress sorting out who killed her father and others than all of the law enforcement offices involved in them, across several states. But Jeri will not be deterred. Justice must be served and she believes Lacy is the one person who can accomplish that. John Grisham gives us driven characters and a genius, ruthless killer. Will he ever be caught? I'm a generally slow reader, but couldn't put this down. It's fast and challenging and a great book. There's one teensy flaw (unless this particular reader is flawed herself and missed something: a character at one point says he's not interesting in reading about serial killers when several chapters earlier had been sharing what he was learning about them through the books he'd been reading. Perhaps I confused or conflated two characters, but it was enough for me to stop and flip back to see what I'd missed. No fun in a page-turner. But it's Grisham. So it was probably my error. I don't read many serial killer thrillers, but this one was fascinating, perhaps because it came from a non-cop, non-FBI character's point of view. And it's Grisham. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.no/products/345295233-the-judges-list-a-novel](https://www.desertcart.no/products/345295233-the-judges-list-a-novel) --- *Product available on Desertcart Norway* *Store origin: NO* *Last updated: 2026-09-18*
