"Gimenez's novels are gripping, intense thrillers. “Gimenez fills the John Grisham hole in the legal-thriller genre so well there may be no room left for Grisham.” And yes, Gimenez may possibly be the next Grisham." This one's a cracker-neatly woven subplots, a taut thriller and a wonderfully current statement on American popular culture. "Just as well I started The Perk on the weekend, as I couldn't put down this book. As ever, Gimenez is highly recommended, impossible to put down and definitely not to be missed." The ending may not be what is expected but it is all the better for it and proves to be a good finish to an excellent book. Together with great characters and a strong plot there is also lots of interesting historical information. Unusually, there are also a few comic and slightly caricatured figures here as well-but they all fit well together in the plot. As is often the case in legal thrillers, there is a mix of those characters that take the moral high ground and those who seem just out for their own good. The Perk has mystery, humour and history along with well-drawn characters that the reader will actually care about. "Gimenez returns to the complex legal thrillers where he seems to be at his best. "Remember when John Grisham exploded on to the courtroom drama market with novels of breathtaking brilliance? Lightning just struck twice."
