Resumen del Editor

In suburban Georgetown a killer's Reeboks whisper on the front floor of a posh home... In a seedy D.C. porno house a patron is swiftly garroted to death... The next day America learns that two of its Supreme Court justices have been assassinated. And in New Orleans, a young law student prepares a legal brief...

To Darby Shaw it was no more 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's 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.

Featured Article: Christmas with the Kranks—Book vs. Movie


John Grisham may be best known for his legal thrillers, but he's also been known to deviate from form every now and then and write something completely different. Skipping Christmas is one such book. It was adapted into a 2004 film called Christmas with the Kranks, starring Tim Allen and Jamie Lee Curtis, which gained the story an even wider audience. If you're familiar with the film but don’t know much about its literary inspiration, read on.

Great story! Poor narrative.

The narrator wasn't that great and sound effects were odd. I would really like to see this one get an update at some point.

Great story

Great story but the musical interludes were irritating and unnecessary. They should be left out.

...a bit of a hard listen

The story was a good Grisham classic, but as another reviewer mentioned, the narrator read as though there was no punctuation. His fast paced reading, run on sentences, made this a hard listen.

Not my first choice

The story was excellent, but the background music really took away from the plot. I wish they’d redo the recording.

horrible audio quality

The book was good, the guy reading it did a good job. The only problem is the quality of the audio itself was gobbly and a little hard to listen to.

So disappointed this is abridged!

This is one of John Grisham’s best books despite how long ago it was written. Unfortunately this is an abridged audio and missing some story development and enjoyment.

This is an abridgement!

It's well done, but such a simple book and with no warning! Waste of money, frankly.

Grisham never seems to strike out

I read this story years ago and I'd say the GRISHAM novels hold there own.
