Camino Island
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “A delightfully lighthearted caper . . . [a] fast-moving, entertaining tale.”—Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
A gang of thieves stage a daring heist from a vault deep below Princeton University’s Firestone Library. Their loot is priceless, impossible to resist.
Bruce Cable owns a popular bookstore in the sleepy resort town of Santa Rosa on Camino Island in Florida. He makes his real money, though, as a prominent dealer in rare books. Very few people know that he occasionally dabbles in unsavory ventures.
Mercer Mann is a young novelist with a severe case of writer’s block who has recently been laid off from her teaching position. She is approached by an elegant, mysterious woman working for an even more mysterious company. A generous monetary offer convinces Mercer to go undercover and infiltrate Cable’s circle of literary friends, to get close to the ringleader, to discover his secrets.

This story is haphazardly told with a sense of juggling by the author. There are unusual parts weaved in and confusing dialogue that seems to emphasize an incomplete book or an over zealous editor. I almost put it down and wish I had halfway through. The ending is rushed and lacks cohesion from the rest of the book.

I kept thinking that this was gonna go somewhere and somehow be exciting, but it meandered on meaninglessly. It kind of read like an old table top book. It seemed like Grisham wanted us to somehow appreciate how hard it was to write a book. I think he convinced me because this one just was not worth it.

A page turner, kept me fascinated, and then boom, it was over. Seemed to dismiss the primary character from the ending, and was a bit of a rushed termination.

Great book! I enjoyed all the twists and turns, and the ending tied it all up. I look forward to reading the next book in the series. I’ve been a John Grisham fan for years, and he always comes through with a great novel!
