But even a future star lawyer like Theo has to deal with statewide standardized testing. When an anonymous tip leads the school board to investigate a suspicious increase in scores at another local middle school, Theo finds himself thrust in the middle of a cheating scandal. With insider knowledge and his future on the line, Theo must follow his keen instincts to do what’s right in the newest case for clever kid lawyer Theo Boone.

Their books are characterized by fast pacing, provocative storylines, suspense and danger, along with sympathetic characters. -- Victoria Fredrick

Both authors use their career experiences to write compelling legal thrillers starring attorneys who take on cases in pursuit of the truth that could cost them their lives. -- CJ Connor
These Southern writers rely upon their backgrounds as attorneys to create suspenseful thrillers with authentic details. Grisham's suspenseful legal thrillers often turn upon points of law. Morris's own voices novels put Black women front and center, whether as attorneys or innocent women running from the law. -- Michael Shumate
Fans of suspenseful and dramatic legal thrillers should explore the works of both John Grisham and Stephen L. Carter. Carter's stories tend to intensify as they progress, while Grisham's plots are propulsive from page one. -- Stephen Ashley
Lisa Scottoline and John Grisham's novels share a legal focus, sympathetic characters, fast pacing, and unexpected plot twists. There's more humor and sarcasm in Scottoline's stories, but both have a similarly suspenseful tone. -- Victoria Fredrick
John Grisham and Alafair Burke are known for their suspenseful and dramatic legal thrillers in which their relatable protagonists take on enormously challenging cases. Burke's work tends to be a bit grittier and darker than Grisham's. -- Stephen Ashley
Fans of Steve Martini's novels may also enjoy John Grisham's cinematic and page-turning legal thrillers. Both authors feature sympathetic protagonists -- often portraying lawyers as underdogs, fighting for justice. For Martini, investigation plays an important role, with actual courtroom drama often taking second place. -- Victoria Fredrick
Though there's a bit more wit in Marcia Clark's writing than John Grisham's more dramatic tales, both authors are known for keeping readers on the edge of their seats with their suspenseful and compelling legal thrillers. -- Stephen Ashley
Although Scott Turow's stories are more realistic and do not move at the same rapid pace as John Grisham's, readers who enjoy issue-oriented legal thrillers may appreciate each author's different strengths. -- Victoria Fredrick
Stuart Woods and John Grisham are both known for their provocative stories and relentless pacing. While there are suspense, action, and plot twists in both authors' novels, there's more sex and violence in Woods' books than in Grisham's. -- Victoria Fredrick
