About this listen

 Troy Phelan is a self-made billionaire, one of the richest men in the United States. He is also eccentric, reclusive, confined to a wheelchair, and looking for a way to die. His heirs, to no one's surprise--especially Troy's--are circling like vultures.

Nate O'Riley is a high-octane Washington litigator who's lived too hard, too fast, for too long. His second marriage is a shambles, and he is emerging from his fourth stay in rehab armed with little more than his fragile sobriety, good intentions, and resilient sense of humour. Returning to the real world is always difficult, but this time it's going to be murder.

Rachel Lane is a young woman who chose to give her life to God, who walked away from the modern world with all its strivings and trappings and encumbrances, and went to live and work with a primitive tribe of Indians in the deepest jungles of Brazil.

In a story that mixes legal suspense with a remarkable adventure, their lives are forever altered by the startling secret of The Testament.

If you could sum up The Testament in three words, what would they be?

Utterly compelling story, thoroughly researched, couldn't put it down. Truthful. Challenging + thought provoking.

What about Frank Muller’s performance did you like?

Excellent in every way...very restful and engaging but then so good at building the characters.

Any additional comments?

Thank you John Grisham, this is a book I will share with friends...the moral/ethical ...it rings so true for those with a calling/vocation versus the folly of riches (what does it profit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul) I also have a friend serving in Equador + the contrast between her life & someone I know who is a multi-millionaire...sobering.

Whilst I found the religious content unusual I still thoroughly enjoyed the journey, as always

Another great Grisham journey

I switch off if a story doesn’t engage me, I will keep trying for a few nights but if it’s really good I will listen in the day rather than watching tv, I finished this in 48hrs so got to be a big thumbs up, if you’ve listened to sycamore row (I’ve listened to it 3 times over the years) this will be your next good read
