Über diesen Titel

'A classic, compulsive, taut and thrilling novel from one of the great storytellers of our time. No one does it better' CHRIS WHITAKER

SHE NEEDS A LAWYER. HE NEEDS A PAYDAY.

Lawyer Simon Latch is struggling with debt, gambling issues and an impending divorce. But when Eleanor Barnett, an 85-year-old widow, visits his office to secure a new will, it seems his luck has finally changed: she claims she's sitting on a $20 million fortune and no one else knows about it.

Once he's hooked the richest client of his career, Simon works quietly to keep her wealth under the radar. But it's a terrible mistake. Hidden secrets have a way of being found out, and when Eleanor is hospitalised after a car accident, Simon realises that nothing is as it seems.

As events spiral out of control, he finds himself on trial for a crime he swears he didn't commit: murder.

Kritikerstimmen

A classic, compulsive, taut and thrilling novel from one of the great storytellers of our time. The Widow is John Grisham at his irresistible, unforgettable best. No one does it better
The Widow is primarily a moral parable ... it's a murder mystery, too, and permeated by evidence of John Grisham's often overlooked skill as a social observer
A twist-laden tale of greed, deception and privilege from the master of courtroom suspense
This is classic Grisham; the story of a small-town lawyer caught in a fix
Grisham is adroit at dealing with moral ambiguities, and they are all over this novel ... when that Grisham grip takes hold, readers will be unable to switch off their bedside lamps
Another nerve-shredding tale of a flawed justice system from the prolific past master of the courtroom drama

Hat insgesamt Spaß gemacht; in einem Tag durchgehört. Hatte noch nen großen Knall am Ende erwartet, aber das gab’s nicht. Gute Story auf jeden Fall

Etwas langwierig zu Beginn, dann plötzlich mega hyper spannend und richtig gut, zum Ende etwas platt
