Description

#1 NEW YORK TIMES AND USA TODAY BESTSELLER • “The perfect crime scene ... in the type of wild but smart caper that Grisham’s readers love.”—Delia Owens, author of Where the Crawdads Sing
    
The master of the legal thriller sweeps you away to paradise for a little sun, sand, mystery, and mayhem. With Camino Winds, America’s favorite storyteller offers the perfect escape. Welcome back to Camino Island, where anything can happen—even a murder in the midst of a hurricane, which might prove to be the perfect crime...
 
Just as Bruce Cable’s Bay Books is preparing for the return of bestselling author Mercer Mann, Hurricane Leo veers from its predicted course and heads straight for the island. Florida’s governor orders a mandatory evacuation, and most residents board up their houses and flee to the mainland, but Bruce decides to stay and ride out the storm.
 
The hurricane is devastating: homes and condos are leveled, hotels and storefronts ruined, streets flooded, and a dozen people lose their lives. One of the apparent victims is Nelson Kerr, a friend of Bruce’s and an author of thrillers. But the nature of Nelson’s injuries suggests that the storm wasn’t the cause of his death: He has suffered several suspicious blows to the head.
 
Who would want Nelson dead? The local police are overwhelmed in the aftermath of the storm and ill equipped to handle the case. Bruce begins to wonder if the shady characters in Nelson’s novels might be more real than fictional. And somewhere on Nelson’s computer is the manuscript of his new novel. Could the key to the case be right there—in black and white? As Bruce starts to investigate, what he discovers between the lines is more shocking than any of Nelson’s plot twists—and far more dangerous. 
 
Camino Winds is an irresistible romp and a perfectly thrilling beach read—# 1 bestselling author John Grisham at his beguiling best.

    Boring plot with an ending that doesn’t relate at all to the rest of the story. Not sure this should have Grisham’s name on it.
  • Fun book

    Fun book to read. Very predictable but like most Grisham books it was worth reading.
  • Hard to get into and sloppy writing.

    It was soooo hard to get into, boring, and some of the writing could’ve been written by a child. I only stuck with it because I was stuck in a hyperbaric chamber for a two hour treatment. As this happened to be my last of 20 treatments, I just started the book,figuring it would be a treat. But wish I would have read the reviews first. To much wishy washy. I actually gave the book away when I finished my treatment. Disappointing. Come on, Mr. Grisham…..you can do better. I sure hope your Sooley book will be better but I will sure read reviews first.
  • Too jumpy

    The opening dinner scene with the rich characters got me hooked, but then the story rambled. This just should have been an island who dun it. The story was slow and the there was no courtroom drama. No last minute filings of motions, etc.
