It's no surprise that John Grisham's newest audiobook, The Litigators, is a big hit here. His formula of a lone lawyer taking on a massive corporation draws people in every time. But what is surprising is he includes a substantial amount of humor in The Litigators. From The Guadian's review:
"[T]here is a thick vein of sly, black humour running through the heart of this novel, thanks in large part to the magnificently unsavoury, wonderfully charismatic Finley and Figg. This is Grisham in Chicago, out of his southern comfort zone and revealing a hitherto-unsuspected wicked sense of humour. The Litigators is all the better for it."
