Query: Grisham riding on past successes

An extremely disappointing book. The author seems to have run out of decent ideas and is now trading on the reputation he established with his earlier novels. It appears that he had no idea where the story would end when he started writing, and that's exactly what happens. Right up to the last page, I kept hoping that something creative would emerge. No such luck. I guess one might say that the book has a plot, but it has one of the flatest endings of any novel that I can recall. Each of his last several books has been a bigger disappointment than the one before. The good news is that this is the last review I will probably write relating to his works, since I don't intend to waste my time reading any more.
