"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
John Grisham, #1 bestselling author and 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.

Sehr lesenswert und deshalb…

Sehr lesenswert und deshalb kaufenswert, habe meine ersten Grishams Anfang der 90er während schlaflosen Dienstreisenächten in Canada verschlungen, die meisten seiner Bücher sind sehr interessant und spannend geschrieben. Es gab, wohl wie bei jedem Autor, auch ein paar wenige Durchhänger ..., aber dieses Buch ist wieder ein klasse Grisham Schmöker, nicht zum einschlafen. Am liebsten lese ich Grisham in englischer Sprache, das Original ist immer besser als jede noch so gute Übersetzung.

The story in this novel is the sequel to Camino Island. In my opinion, it’s not necessary to have read the first book. For the ones who have, they will recognize the characters.
Once again, John Grisham takes us back to Camino Island in Florida, but this time the circumstances get a little stormy because hurricane Leo is on its way. The tornado rips through the island with such a force, in the end, nearly everything is destroyed or flooded. Lucky are the ones who could leave their homes on time to find shelter somewhere safe.
On top of that nightmare, a murder occurred during the storm. It seems that it was suicide or an accident. Neighbours and devastated friends won’t believe in suicide. Unfortunately, the authorities are uncooperative, this makes it even harder to believe that they can solve the case. The book shop owner Bruce Cable and his friends don’t want to accept it. They start to dig into their dead friends past, and what they find reinforces their belief that it was murder. Has his death anything to do with his latest book, which is not yet published. Has he written a story only fictitious? The more his literary friends dig into the case, the more they attract the attention of the ones who want to keep the written secrets hidden. As it gets obvious that the police won’t help them, an external help brings the case back on track. In the end, it remains to be seen, that the ones responsible are convicted.
In my opinion, Camino winds is a fitting sequel with a well-established plot. Although he chose a different approach, the story isn’t less gripping. Different, but in an enjoyable way.
The story came to a logical conclusion, perhaps a little too abrupt an ending for my taste.
