Camino Winds

Camino, Book 2

De: John Grisham

Narrado por: Michael Beck

#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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“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. Since officials are preoccupied with the aftermath of the storm, the authors set out to solve the mystery themselves, in the type of wild but smart caper that Grisham’s readers love.” —Delia Owens, author of Where the Crawdads Sing

"Escapist entertainment...with elements of a more traditional Grisham thriller."–Janet Maslin, The New York Times

“A cat-and-mouse caper…Mr. Grisham is an irresistible writer. His prose is fluent and gorgeous, and he has an ability to end each segment with a terse sentence than makes it all but impossible not to turn the page.”–Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Loved the continued lifes from previous book and referance to tie the books together. Keep the mystery stayed alive.

Overall view

The story line tied the characters together nicely. I wish Mercer discussed a little bit with Bruce about her coming back with no hard feelings. Overall the plot was good and keep the reader entree for the most part. The only thing that disappointed me was the voices used in audiobooks, especially Mercer. The voice was not the same as the first book and most of the female voices sounded the same.

Grisham is baaack!

The Camino sequels deliver what i want in a novel - character development, a believable and fascinating story line, and an exquisite author’s flare for turning the phrase.

Reading was near perfect for the story. Had a little trouble knowing whose voice was speaking in a few scenes, but otherwise very well done byBeck.

Average

My favorite which will not be topped ever is The Testament. It was entertaining and a great idea using these old geezers to solve a crime. reminds me of the Hardy Boys of my childhood reads!! The narrator nailed it!

Eh! Started strong but weak ending.

Eh! Started strong but weak ending. Entertaining nonetheless. As a loyal fan, was hoping for more from John Grisham. (This is my very first review because as a long-time Grisham fan, I put this on my wish list, I felt let down.) Can anyone recommend something to “read” on Audible that’s like the original Grisham books? I haven’t found a riveting “can’t put it down” read in months! Thanks!

Excellent

Wonderful, beach florida mystery, book lovers, Russian intrigue high tech international spies not too creepy not to Gorey perfect

One Howling Wind

Disappointed at first the reader was male and not the January of Camino Island but that was soon overcome by the intensity of the book...Grisham does a great job of introducing “more than five” characters really well with little thought as to “who is that... oh yea!” This was a dynamite read as all of his books are!
