I have always heard good things about his other books but never found time to read them. I read one of John Grisham's books many years ago (The Partner) and loved it. Reviewed in the United States on 29 August 2022 There's a sequel to the book that was published a few years ago, so it is already going on my list of books to read next summer. This is everything I want from a summer read. Camino Island sees the author in peak form. Grisham is at his best when he combines a compelling plot with great characters. There are whispers amongst the townspeople, but it is up to our main character to plant herself among them, build their trust, and uncover the truth behind all of the rumors.
I mean let's be honest for a minute, a book about books is always a win! The setting in a small tropical town means that everyone knows everyone else, a fact that helps deepen the secrecy behind the mystery. The more recent output from John Grisham has been pretty hit or miss, but I was happy to discover that Camino Island is a hit. The woman is part of a small unit within law enforcement, and she wants Mercer to go undercover to help them find the lost Fitzgerald manuscripts. She's even more rattled by the woman's request.
Mercer is shocked then when she is approached by a mysterious woman. When we meet her, she has lost her job, has no prospects for the future, and is financially crippled by student loans. In the years following, Mercer struggled to write a follow-up, and any chance at building a career as a published author seems to have gone by the wayside. She was once the author of a novel that became a critical darling but never found true financial success. The group makes off with the manuscripts, leaving the university and authorities desperate to get them back.Įnter our unlikely hero Mercer Mann. As luck would have it, their well-prepared heist goes off without a hitch. The American literary icon's work is estimated to be worth millions, something the thieves are prepared to stop at nothing to steal. Their target is the original, hand-written manuscripts of F. The novel opens with a daring group of thieves about to make a meticulous heist from the vaults of the Princeton Library.
#Camino island book 3 cracked
This week I had some extra time in between publisher-provided books, so I took advantage and finally cracked it open. His novel Camino Island, a book about a literary heist, has been on my TBR list forever. In more recent years, I've made a concerted effort to read a wider variety of genres and authors, but I still come back to Grisham's writing on occasion. His ability to provide terse legal thrillers that had a great pace but also featured relatable characters proved to be an irresistible combination. I remember really getting into his books during high school, a time when I was finding my own way as a reader. John Grisham holds a special place on my bookshelf.
