I love Grisham's courtroom drama but this story moves in a different direction to what I'm used to.
The beginning reminded me of Stephen King's Fairy Tale: there's an old person who needs to die for the story to move on but they drag it out for almost 200 pages.
The ending also felt rushed.

TGIF!🥳🙌

What are you reading this weekend?📚

I'm halfway through John Grisham's The Widow and I confess that I'm a bit disappointed.😬

The weekend is upon us and I should be spending more time with my books, but I got a message yesterday that my latest ‘residents’ will be arriving soon.📚📚📚📚📚

A chatbot encourages a teenage boy to kill his ex-girlfriend leading to a court battle between a major AI company and Mickey Haller. I was intrigued by the story and Michael Connelly did not disappoint. I loved the courtroom drama and how other current events like the wildfires made an appearance.

This is the second Detective Declan Miller book. I didn't like Miller right away. His corny jokes at inappropriate times bordered on annoying. But as the story progressed, I began to understand him and see him in a new light.
Mark Billingham does an amazing job keeping us on the edge of our seats.

Life is short, so enjoy the things you love with no regrets. Buy the book. Read without reservation while sipping your favorite drink and losing yourself in another world where problems are solved before the last page is turned.
