Özet
 All trails became dead-ends. Tips that had at first seemed urgent now faded away. The waiting game began. Whoever had the manuscripts would want money, and a lot of it. They would surface eventually, but where and when, and how much would they want?

The most daring and devastating heist in literary history targets a high security vault located deep beneath Princeton University.

Valued at $25 million (though some would say priceless) the five manuscripts of F Scott Fitzgerald's only novels are amongst the most valuable in the world. After an initial flurry of arrests, both they and the ruthless gang of thieves who took them have vanished without trace.

Dealing in stolen books is a dark business, and few are initiated to its arts - which puts Bruce Kable right on the FBI's Rare Asset Recovery Unit's watch list.

A struggling writer burdened by debts, Mercer Mann spent summers on Florida's idyllic Camino Island as a kid, in her grandmother's beach cottage. Now she is being made an offer she can't refuse: to return to the peace of the island, to write her novel - and get close to a certain infamous bookseller, and his interesting collection of manuscripts . . .

Eleştirmen yorumları

A bewitching blend of high-stakes spying mission and summer romance, with a fascinatingly ambiguous central character
The gripping plot will have you devouring the chapters in such a frantic fashion you'll begin to wonder if you are somehow complicit in this perfect crime
This story take you into the dark underworld of the black market for rare books. Think Da Vinci Code meets Sherlock Holmes
Grisham shows charm, wit and a light touch.
It's not often that bookish readers are a thriller's target audience so this one is very welcome.
Every now and then Grisham tries something new. This year he hit a bull's-eye with a beach book featuring a bunch of writers, not a bunch of lawyers. There's a huge sense of fun to this little experiment
In both of these irresistible reads Grisham introduces readers to memorable characters whom he capably brings to life

What a great story. Extremely well narrated. Kept me hooked all along the journey. Felt slightly like an abridged work as some of the narrative could have been expanded.

Beautifully narrated compelling listen

Book starts off with a good start, then dragged on with an ending that seemed to have to no real thought. From crime thriller to miles and boom and back!

Decent, but a little empty

An excellent story, fast paced beautifully scripted a real page turner, or marathon listen. The superb narration by January LaVoy is impeccable as she sets the pace and brings each character to life providing easy to distinguish accents and colour to each of the protagonists, John Grisham delivers and is the Master of the story.

Excellent, probably the best robbery ever.

What made the experience of listening to Camino Island the most enjoyable?

The story was engaging and I wanted to listen more each time.

Any additional comments?

Unfortunately the book ended rather suddenly. I guess this keeps you wanting more. Definitely set up for a sequel .

Very good but end seemed truncated.

In an effort to be politically correct and current, John added storylines that were unnecessary. The inclusion of the two female burnt out neighbours / writers /lovers spoilt the story. I fast- forwarded their conversations.
The book is ok but average. It cannot hold a candle to the Pelican Brief.

Not as good as the Pelican Brief
