This story follows Lovely Jackson as she fights for her claim to an island that is said to be cursed, as the last living descendent of the slaves that called the island home. The state of Florida claims it is theirs, and after hurricane Leo shifted some things a big developer wants to buy the land. Of course, Bruce can't let that happen and gets the right people (Mercer Mann) on the case. As she starts to research for the novel, and gets to know Lovely, they realize they are in for a long legal battle. It is very interesting watching the legal process ensue, and to hear the lost stories of the slaves that originally found their way to the island. I know it is suppose to be a work of fiction, but it was very well written and engaging.

Thank you to NetGalley and Doubleday for giving me an eGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Camino Ghosts is the third book in the Camino Island series. All books can be read as standalone, I even read the 2nd one first. 🤭 I prefer a psychological, locked-room, or even an action-packed thriller. Camino Winds was pretty action-packed, so I had high expectations for this one. Unfortunately, this was more of a legal thriller, which tend to stray away from. John Grisham is a phenomenal author and story-teller, but I was not fully invested in the plot of this one. There’s no real suspense or intense drama to keep you on the edge of your seat. I just wanted a little more murder mystery. I think this one would be great for fans of legal thrillers who enjoy a little history.
