Publisher's Summary
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....

Some what tedious
I didn’t identify with any of the characters and found the plot a bit tedious. Found it very difficult to focus .Clever but a bit pointless .

Camino Island review
Narration was good. The story was disappointing as was the plot. As a John Grisham fan I have to say this was the worst Grisham novel I have read.

Fantastic Read!
John Grisham is an amazing author and has brought another A+ read. I’d highly recommend this to any fans of his work.

A Comfortable Read
This is an enjoyable wee book. It's reasonably short and compact and easy to listen to. The narrator is quite good after a couple of initial dodgy men's voices that are short lived. The ending felt a bit rushed and abrupt, and maybe too neatly tied in a bow, but a minor quibble. If you are a Grisham fan you will enjoy this book.

Relaxing listen
Picked this up because it was listed as a best seller.
Camino Island is a nice short listen at 6 hours, with a very simple story with fleshed out characters but it seems like it ends unsatisfactorily, story wise.
The narrator has a very soothing voice, one that puts your mind at ease after a busy day at work.

a little boring
Just a bit plain really. Had expected more from this writer. At least a couple of twists and turns.
