About this audiobook

#1 New York Times bestselling author John Grisham delivers a gripping, suspenseful page-turner about a Paris honeymoon gone horribly wrong—and the nightmare that follows.


After Paul and Chelsea Tanner’s fairytale wedding, their future is full of promise. But their honeymoon to Paris takes a dark, shocking turn when they are kidnapped while on a day trip to the French countryside. Who would target them, and why? It turns out this is not the first crime of its kind. The search for clues soon stretches across borders, with the FBI, CIA, and French Intelligence trying to work together to put the pieces of the puzzle together. Struggling to find answers, a young lawyer is recruited to be the bait in an elaborate CIA operation.


Propulsive and surprising, The French Illusion is an unmistakable Grisham thrill ride—gripping and impossible to put down.

fun story but a disappointing ending where everyone gets to live happily ever after. On thing: The reference to the novel Gods and Generals being about the battle of Gettysburg is wrong. That book was about Andrew Jackson and Chancellorsville. It is a prequel to the book about Gettysburg, Killer Angels.

WOW! I’ve been waiting for the next John Grisham book. The last one was good, but I felt Grisham’s use of the book at the end to promote his cause was unnecessary and took away from the story. The French Illusion was perfect.

couldn't put it down. It's not a happy book, but certainly a great read. And it made me think about those still imprisoned at Gitmo and immigrants being sent to countries that are not their homes. Wondering what will happen to them and the enemies we are creating.
