Praise for Playing for Pizza

Grisham comes into his own. The man knows how to crank up the tension, we are soon on the edge of our seats. Read this book, enjoy it.

Daily Express

Playing for Pizza is well plotted and shows Grisham's gift for coming up with twists and appealing minor characters.

Sunday Times

Playing for Pizza is a lyrical page-turner and a gasp-inducing reminder of the scope of this man's genius with the written word. Grisham is something of a Da Vinci with words. He can blow your brains out with the power of truth or paint pictures that magically reveal the reality beneath. This is a smooth, satisfying and delightful read.

Sunday Express

Grisham's writing takes on an energy and precision in this amiable novel
