Review: The Widow

The Widow by John Grisham
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Eleanor, a lonely widow, comes into the law office of Simon Latch with a simple request, she needs a will. This should be a very simple request, a cut and dry process for which Simon usually charges $250. But as Eleanor begins to talk with Simon, what started out as very simple soon becomes quite complicated.
Eleanor had already hired Simon's competitor to prepare a will for her, but she was not satisfied with his work. She felt that he was cheating her and taking advantage of a wealthy widow, so she wanted Simon to do a will for her. Simon was elated! Maybe finally his luck was going to turn, and he was going to finally get ahead. Yes, things were going to change for Simon. Major changes were coming, and Simon would be facing more trouble than he could have ever imagined.
This legal thriller will take you from pampering and dining an old widow, to murder charges, and courtroom convictions. Another great courtroom drama with twists from John Grisham.

Thank you Netgalley, the publisher and the author for the opportunity to read an advanced copy of this book.
