Camino Island by John Grisham
4.0
Lets be real...John Grisham can't write a bad book! I read my first Grisham book about 25yrs ago and I know I can turn to him for consistently producing a solid 4 or 5 star book.
I love that he has ventured down this "cozy mystery" path. This book was fantastic! It was fast paced and never hit a dull moment. Was it predictable? 100%...but aren't most cozy mysteries?
I love a book about books and this was just that! Mercer is an author and her first 2 books didn't do so well. She is swimming in student loan debt and is teaching at a college but budget cuts have affected her position. She receives an email about a potential job offer but the job turns out not to be the teaching job it advertised.
A team of thieves planned the perfect heist. They stole F. Scott Fitzgeralds original manuscripts that were housed at Princeton. They are floating around the black market and Mercer is recruited by an agency to help gain information from a person of interest. The person of interest lives on the island where Mercer spent summers with her grandmother so she has the perfect background story.
