Review of 'The Partner (John Grishham)' on 'Goodreads'
4 stelle
Libro carino, davvero breve che si legge in un'ora circa. Piuttosto semplice e lineare, non è approfondito come nei soliti libri di Grisham ma ci può stare. Lettura che scorre veloce e senza intoppi. Un semplice Grisham per una pausa tra un libro e l'altro.
