It's been a while since I finished a book partly as I read two at once but also because of life, anyway here we are again! "The Whistler' is a thriller/crime book about a corrupt judge operating on Native Indian land, and the large task of exposing the judges crimes. It was a book typical of Grisham, cold, gritty and ruthless, unafraid to dive into the darkest elements of human nature, therefore in my eyes, a fantastic read. I wouldn't say the characters are overly loveable but in the nature of crime books, it was plot driven and therefore didn't affect my opinion on or enjoyment of the book though it wouldn't be
For everyone.
