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.
