Oct 17 The Exchange by John Grisham

  

 
The Exchange by John Grisham
Story is about Mitch and the hardships he and his family have gone through. He tries to do the right thing always. He is a lawyer and works in international law offices around the world, based out of NY. His wife is a chef editor of cookbooks. Many times the chefs work out of her own family kitchen and use the family as taste testers.
Mitch travels quite a bit and his boss Jack has an assignment in Libya, about a bridge in the desert over the water, that is not there, just oil. 
He takes on the big boss, Luca daughter< Giavanni as she's quite accomplished as  a lawyer from England firm and they combine forces to defend the client. Giavanni's dad is not doing so well as the head of the firm with cancer and he hand picked Mitch for the job. 
Things go sideways and there are kidnappings and deaths by brutal force. Mitches wife, Abby is targeted and must do what they say to get Giavanni back. It's been almost a month and things are happening.
You can just imagine with what is at stake as to who will make it out alive and unharmed.
Love this action packed, legal,  thriller with family ties so  strong. So realistic! Love all the travel and new locations to me because author describes them to a tee.
Received this review copy from Doubleday Books, Doubleday via NetGalley and this is my honest opinion.
