If you like Grisham, you will like his 2025 novel The Widow.

It’s much better than his last book, The Boys from Biloxi.

A down-on-his-luck small-town lawyer sees a way out of financial ruin when a wealthy widow arrives.

After the widow has a car accident, she dies in hospital.

The lawyer is charged with murder, poisoning some cookies he gifted her.

This book is the usual detailed courtroom drama. BUT has the murder mystery added in to spice up the story.

The main criticism of the book is the last-minute reveal of the actual killer. We wonder why that character wasn’t introduced earlier.
