John Grisham churns out reliable, entertaining books. His latest, The Widow, does not disappoint.
Simon Latch, a small town lawyer in Virginia, is struggling. He's doing the usual boring paperwork for folks, which isn't big income. He's on the cusp of divorce, so that price tag is hanging over his head. And he has a small gambling problem.
A widow, Eleanor Barnett, walks in and needs a new will. Her late husband was frugal but invested in Coca-Cola stock (he worked for them), and Wal-Mart. Otherwise, house is paid for and she lives a quiet life. Simon is filled with glee at this good luck. He does proper paperwork and counts on continued income for him when it's time to process it. She has no contact with her stepsons, and plans to give money to charity.
cover blurb - When she is hospitalized after a bad car accident, Simon realizes that nothing is as it seems. He finds himself on trial for a crime he swears he did not commit: murder.
I can't tell you more, but there are plenty of twists and turns in Simon's life. The Widow is a page turner.
Plenty of surprises abound. Enjoy!
