The Widow by John Grisham

14小时的有声书三天肝完了,因为图书馆的队太长了所以有个7天快速借的机会就赶紧肝了。

John Grisham 最近这些年的重心似乎都在废死上,这本书构建了一个普通人在一个并不惊天动地的案子里怎样被构陷并定罪的故事,听完后略搜了一下评论,reddit 里不少人吐槽他实在太啰嗦了,但也有人为他的啰嗦辩护——巨细无遗的陈述让每一个环节都显得平凡而真实,从而令被构陷这个核心故事更恐怖。

John Grisham: Das Vermächtnis – rezensiert von Wolfgang Mebs
https://schreiblust-leselust.de

Kein klassischer Thriller: Stattdessen ein Roman über Gier, Moral und die feinen Grenzen zwischen Schuld und Unschuld. Spannend vor allem durch seine Figuren.

Bestselling books from 1900 to present

Good morning. 🌻🌻🌻

22 January 2026

I just finished reading The Widow by John Grisham. I’m a longtime Grisham fan and enjoyed the book, though I wouldn’t call it his best. That’s just my take, of course—someone else might consider it his finest work. The story centers on an aging, enigmatic widow who claims to have millions in assets and wants a new will. As in many Grisham novels, a struggling lawyer finds himself pulled into the middle of it all. He agrees to draft the will, imagining the financial rewards ahead, but a sudden murder upends every expectation.

The novel unfolds as a classic whodunit, a mystery designed to keep you guessing. I thought the character development was strong, especially for the main players, and the storyline held my interest from start to finish. The ending, though, felt a bit abrupt and left me wondering how well the lawyer ultimately landed—and what Grisham wanted us to make of that unresolved note.

I won’t say anything more, for fear of spoiling the book for anyone who might decide to pick it up.

My next read is a recent release from Dean Koontz, another favorite of mine. I can’t recall the title at the moment—it’s sitting on my nightstand at the other end of the house—but I’m looking forward to diving in. Koontz never disappoints. I just hope I didn’t accidentally pick up one I’ve already read, which is entirely possible given how many of his books I’ve gone through. I’m fairly sure it’s a newer release, though. I bought it a while back, and it’s been waiting patiently in a short queue of books to read.
