which will open nationwide today. But I know thats very

whodunit, John Grisham has stretched his writing wings.
A Painted House, a coming-of-age yarn, gave Grisham
the chance to evoke his boyhood without involving a courtroom or
attorneys. Skipping Christmas, still near the top of
bestseller lists, was a new take on A Christmas Carol
and Its a Wonderful Life.
