I stopped reading John Grisham for this reason. He spends a whole book faffing around then in the last chapter he uses the plot ending I thought of in chapter one. It’s as though he gets tired of writing and uses the most convenient wrap up. Not creative at all.

Grisham studios all his book and has for years. He writes an outline and has ghost writers fill it out. James Patterson does too, but he at least credits the "co-writer."

I did not know this, how did you find out?

It's been kind of an open secret for years.
