Whoopi Goldberg’s narration was subpar. She is a good actress, but narration is a different skill.
The story picks up with Mercy getting married and Bruce remaining her friend. A developer is trying to buy an abandoned island that used to house former slaves. The lone remaining resident goes to court to fight the developer. She wins. Mercy writes a book about the woman's story.

Camino Ghosts brings the usual Camino Island characters to a new adventure with a literary and legal new angle. Grisham knows those areas well and I enjoyed those portions. Unfortunately, some of the book felt mailed in without passion or urgency. In particular, the conversations and relationship between Mercer and her new husband conveyed a bored dynamic. The book also felt like it was long enough to be published and ended quickly and conveniently. 3 stars.
3.5 out of 5 stars.
I enjoyed getting reacquainted with Bruce, Mercer and the rest of the gang from Camino Island, but that is pretty much where all my enjoyment came from. The story of Lovely and Dark Isle and the fight over ownership just didn't catch my interest. Definitely the worst of the 3 Camino Island books.
