Probably my least favorite of Grisham’s so far but still enjoyable! For some reason, I wasn’t as invested in this story and there were a lot of characters to keep track of...

Not your typical heart pounding fast paced Grisham novel. An enjoyable, light, leisurely read. I don't know that you could even call it a thriller, but a fun read. Thoroughly enjoyed the characters and island setting. Makes me think of Randy Wayne White's Doc Ford series.

It’s a page-turner. Grisham is a competent writer of mysteries and such. Here, the mystery is less whodunnit as howdunnit and why, but a decent beach read. If only I were on the beach!

Ni G od Grishama. Ni t od trilera. Nisam je niti dovršila, nečitljivo! Jedino dobro u vezi ovog romana jest što je bio poklon za rođendan te fina naslovnica.

I really enjoyed "Camino Island", by John Grisham. The storyline was easy to follow and characters entertaining. I would read a series of books revolving around these characters. We have enough seriousness in the world, let's have a little fun!!! Next stop... "Camino Winds"!

I think this is my least favorite John Grisham book. It was pretty short for a Grisham book, and short on character and story development. The end felt very rushed to me. Other reviews mentioned a ghost writer, and I wonder the same thing.
One thing that REALLY bugged me about this book seems like a huge oversight by both the author and his editors. Most of the book is set in a coastal town in Florida. Several times, a building's basement is mentioned. Most buildings in Florida DON'T HAVE basements. Florida is simply too close to sea level, and just can't have basements. A missed detail like this completely boggles my mind.

I liked it. The sign of a good audiobook is that the ending sneaks up on you before you start wondering "how much is left of this book."

There’s something great about reading a book that takes place by the water while you’re on a beach by the water. And for all your book lovers - it’s a plus when the book is about books! This one has some intrigue and twists like only John Grisham can give us. It was a fun read and little different than his normal speed.
