She put the criminals away, but only after being attacked and nearly killed. Three years later, and approaching forty, she is tired of her work for the Florida Board on Judicial Conduct and ready for a change. Then she meets a mysterious woman who is so frightened she uses a number of aliases. Jeri Crosby’s father was murdered twenty years earlier in a case that remains unsolved and that has grown stone cold. But Jeri has a suspect whom she has become obsessed with and has stalked for two decades. Along the way, she has discovered other victims. The man Jeri holds responsible for all these deaths is brilliant, patient, and always one step ahead of law enforcement. He is the most cunning of all serial killers. He knows forensics, police procedure, and most important: he knows the law. He is a judge, in Florida—under Lacy’s jurisdiction. But the man keeps a record of all his victims and targets, people unlucky enough to have crossed his path and wronged him in some way. Lacy must work to take him down, while somehow keeping her name off his list. Review: Great Part II - The two books were seamless! An action packed read that kept you wanting to read more. A great travel book. Review: CLEVER PSYCHOTIC JUDGE GETS A WAY WITH MURDER - I'm a huge fan of Grisham (have a library full of his books) and I enjoyed this one but I like his courtroom dramas a lot more. This one had kind of a slow start and I was actually bored the first part of the book. Then the story picked up quite a bit and I had trouble putting it down. I admit I didn't care for the ending. SPOILER ALERT...One thing that really didn't make any sense to me in the story was this woman stalks the killer twenty years, then finally, after a twist in the story, decides she needs to get the FBI and judicial people involved. I believed that but she warns repeatable how smart the killer is and dangerous but starts sending him poems which made him realize exactly who was after him (something he was not aware of until then at all). I think if she was that terrified, she would have let everyone do their job, not antagonise the killer and not send anonymous letters to the newspaper, knowing he would see them and realize he was under suspicion. She was so upset in the end about the course he had chosen but she was completely responsible for it! She was right..he was smart and even though he had no idea anything was going, she is the one who let the cat out of the bag causing him first to go after her and then seek a final way out. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #112,705 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #18 in Legal Thrillers (Books) #236 in Political Thrillers (Books) #351 in Suspense Thrillers | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 99,386 Reviews | ## Images ![The Judge's List: A Novel (The Whistler) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71OBeKhPQlL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Language, Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Part II *by S***R on September 4, 2026* The two books were seamless! An action packed read that kept you wanting to read more. A great travel book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ CLEVER PSYCHOTIC JUDGE GETS A WAY WITH MURDER *by J***E on October 27, 2021* I'm a huge fan of Grisham (have a library full of his books) and I enjoyed this one but I like his courtroom dramas a lot more. This one had kind of a slow start and I was actually bored the first part of the book. Then the story picked up quite a bit and I had trouble putting it down. I admit I didn't care for the ending.

Again *by L***A on October 28, 2021* John Grisham is pretty much the owner of his own niche of books: the legal thriller. There are many other authors who write this type of book, but it is Grisham who stands at the very top. Almost forty legal thriller novels, over 300 million books in print, etc. From the first one published in 1989, his legal thrillers have gone number one consistently. He's so good as an author, at plotting, at character building, at dialogue, at velocity, etc., he's the master. He most often will take a specific subject, in this latest outing, serial killers who are also sitting judges, research the subject thoroughly, and weave the facts and context and motivations into a story which draws us deeper and deeper with each paragraph. This latest, "The Judge's List," is, in my opinion, one of his best. To be writing at his best after 40 years on the job says a lot about how truly skilled he is. Grisham gives us Lacy Stoltz, an experienced investigator at the Board of Judicial Conduct in Florida, a backwater, sleepy agency which investigates complaints against judges. She gets a cold call from Jeri Crosby, whose father was killed 20 years ago. She has spent those 20 years tracking down her father's killer, and has discovered that the killer has killed at least ten other victims, using the exact same technique: a blunt instrument to the head, and a nylon rope tied around the neck with a unique knot at the end. Crosby believes the killer is a sitting judge; she files a complaint against the judge with Lacy, who is obligated by law to investigate all complaints. Thus, Grisham sets up an intriguing story—Lacy involves the various agencies and instruments of state, local and federal government to investigate and ultimately reveal the judge's crimes. How they unite and work together, how they track the judge, how they almost get killed by the judge, and how they ultimately solve the case, is Grisham at his best. When Grisham has wandered into fields outside the legal thriller neighborhood, such as his sports books and his young adult books, I felt that he was good, but not great. With every one of his legal thrillers, I always felt like I was reading the master. And so it is with "The Judge's List," Grisham at his best, giving us exactly what we want in a legal thriller. Can't wait for his next one. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Judge's List: A Novel (The Whistler) - The Whistler: A Novel - The Exchange: After The Firm (The Firm Series) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/446351165-the-judges-list-a-novel-the-whistler](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/446351165-the-judges-list-a-novel-the-whistler) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-09-15*
