#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A disgraced corporate attorney ventures into a potentially lethal jungle, on a job no one wants, in this “entertaining page-turner” (USA Today) from the master of the legal thriller.
In a plush Virginia office, a rich, angry old man is furiously rewriting his will. With his death just hours away, Troy Phelan wants to send a message to his children, his ex-wives, and his minions—a message that will touch off a vicious legal battle and transform dozens of lives.
Because Troy Phelan’s new will names a sole surprise heir to his eleven-billion-dollar fortune: a mysterious woman named Rachel Lane, a missionary living deep in the jungles of Brazil.
Enter the lawyers. Nate O’Riley is fresh out of rehab, handpicked for his last job: to find Rachel Lane at any cost. As Phelan’s family circles like vultures in D.C., Nate goes crashing through the Brazilian jungle, entering a world where money means nothing, where death is just one misstep away, and where a woman—pursued by enemies and friends alike—holds a stunning surprise of her own.

Critic reviews
"Grisham's smart use of the suspense novel to explore questions of being and faith puts him squarely in the footsteps of Dickens and Graham Greene." (Publishers Weekly)
Featured Article: The Essential John Grisham in Audio
John Grisham is best known for his fast-paced legal thrillers and mysteries, many of which have been adapted for television and film. Because he’s so prolific and has been writing for decades, it can be difficult to know where to begin when selecting a title from his impressive back catalog. And Grisham is definitely a jack-of-all-trades: he’s written not only legal thrillers, but nonfiction, a series for kids, some humorous novels, and recently, a new mystery series outside of the legal thriller genre. To help you decide which Grisham gem to download next, we’ve compiled a list of the very best.

My favorite audiobook out of hundreds

The narration was good too. I took this audio book away with me on holidays and listened to it while laying by the pool. It transported me to South America and put me in the middle of an adventure I could only ever travel to in my dreams. The character building was excellent too. From the main character Nate to all the Phelan heirs. I really felt like a fly on the wall as this story unfolded. A great read. You'll enjoy this one!

What made the experience of listening to The Testament the most enjoyable?
This was also not your typical John Grisham legal novel (not that there is anything wrong with Mr. Grisham's writing mind you...he is one of my favorite authors). Most of the action takes place outside of a courtroom. The characters are sharply written and Grisham keeps you guessing as to how matters will resolve themselves right to the end.Who was your favorite character and why?
Nate O'Riley was a very believable character: conflicted, empathetic, brave (naive?) .Have you listened to any of Frank Muller’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I have also listened to Frank Muller's rendition of "The Prince of Tides" by Pat Conroy. [I am saving Muller's Larry McMurtry's "Comanche Moon" for a long car's drive.] "The Prince of Tides," was an equally strong reading. Frank Muller has become my favorite narrator/reader. His effortless ability to switch characters voices (including accents) is amazing.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes, but I stretched the listening enjoyment out over several days.Frank Muller Brings 'The Testament' to Life

YesAny additional comments?
John Grisham spent time in Brazil in the areas that Nate visited. It was like being there. The Testament combines the research and writing skills to become one of John Grisham's best.Grisham's Best
