Summary
Dark Isle off the Florida coast is said to be cursed: drownings, disappearances and hauntings have been the fate of intruders. The people who lived there were once enslaved. Now abandoned, it is the target of greedy developers.
Lovely Jackson is the last survivor and claims to be its legal owner. But there is not a shred of evidence to prove that is true.
It's unlikely that the developers will be deterred by the claims of one old woman. They have millions; Lovely only has Steve Mahon, a pro bono environmental lawyer, and Mercer Mann, a floundering novelist, to fight in her corner.
With the court case looming and the bulldozers waiting to roll in, Steve and Mercer are in a race against time to unearth the truth behind Lovely's story and save the legacy of the island.
Praise for Camino Winds:
'In American icon John Grisham's new novel, Camino Winds, an odd assortment of mystery and crime authors, some of them felons themselves, discover one of their colleagues has been murdered during the fury of a massive hurricane-the perfect crime scene' Delia Owens, author of Where the Crawdads Sing
'The Camino Island series, featuring trouble-prone bookseller Bruce Cable, is a perfect escapist mix of detective action, insider riffs on the literary world - and even a little romance' Mail on Sunday
'Camino Winds has all the usual Grisham hallmarks - a pacy plot and tension-filled scenes' Independent
'Another compelling read from Grisham, and will satisfy old fans and please new readers alike' Press Association
Camino Ghosts was a Sunday Times top five bestseller in the first week of June 2024.

The history
No pace, too much padding, undeveloped characters. I usually enjoy John Grisham books, but this is definitely one of his least enjoyable novels.

Northwest listener
A wonderful story on how ordinary people overcame the fat cats desires to own everything in Florida. Tells a haunting story of how the Europeans behaved in capturing slaves and shipping them to America. And whilst WHoopi Goldbergs narration was probably appropriate for the story it sort off grated o my nerves

The story

A great story surprisingly spoiled by the reader
This most recent story about inhabitants of Camino Island is as good and enthralling as the other two – John Grisham never let you down with a story.
Incredibly, I found Whoopi Goldberg’s performance to be clumsy and sufficiently poor to be irritating. Had she been from the deep south and brought an authentic accent then maybe I could understand it but she’s from New York and really brought nothing positive to this excellent book at all.
It’s a John Grisham and I listened to it to the end and thoroughly enjoyed it but I was genuinely surprised at how bad Goldberg’s performance was

A compulsive mesmerising audio book
Another trip to Camino isle and yes, there is the bookstore and an obligatory legal part , but this one is unlike the other two. At first one is unsure what is this book going to be about, where it is going? But as the story unfurls one is caught up and you need to keep listening. Whoopi Goldberg’s narration is a joy and the story of enslaved Africans and their freedom on Dark Isle gives you an insight into a dark period of history. But it is more than that as the characters and even the spooky parts make for a very enjoyable listen!

Not one of Grishams best.
Characters like Mercer shallow and annoying and that of Lovely was cliched, or was that more in the narration !
The history lesson on the slave trade a little overdone and really no surprises in the end result.
Too much padding involving coffee gatherings and dinner parties.
And the narration!! I had read in reviews that it was bad but I almost gave up 20 minutes in. She did not seem able to read a sentence or even some words with the emphasis in the correct place. That evened out after a while but reappeared towards the end.
It was all a bit predictable and disappointing.
