was intended as escapist entertainment, but its timing unavoidably gives it a different resonance. But the island, the bookstore and the heroine were the first book’s main attractions, if only for their novelty in the Grishamverse. There’s only so much time he can devote to having Bruce and his friends clear debris, after all, so over the course of the yearlong narrative he finds reasons to send them to hotels and meals elsewhere. And to his credit, he doesn’t entirely jettison the vacation mentality here, even if Camino itself is sidelined by disaster.
Grisham knows how to tell stories like that. It has nothing to do with Camino or the bookstore and is more like the for-profit law school scam found in Grisham’s last legal thriller, The Rooster Bar. While Camino Island offered a sexy plot hook in the form of those Fitzgerald manuscripts, Camino Winds turns out to have a more serious, issue-oriented one. This is a Camino book with elements of a more traditional Grisham thriller thrown in. Camino Winds is an irresistible romp and a perfectly thrilling beach read-# 1 bestselling author John Grisham at his beguiling best.If Camino Winds is breezy, that’s mostly because its plot involves a ferocious hurricane.
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. And somewhere on Nelson’s computer is the manuscript of his new novel. Bruce begins to wonder if the shady characters in Nelson’s novels might be more real than fictional. Who would want Nelson dead? The local police are overwhelmed in the aftermath of the storm and ill equipped to handle the case. 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. One of the apparent victims is Nelson Kerr, a friend of Bruce’s and an author of thrillers. The hurricane is devastating: homes and condos are leveled, hotels and storefronts ruined, streets flooded, and a dozen people lose their lives.
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.
