Publisher's summary

Best-selling author John Grisham stirs up trouble in paradise in his endlessly surprising new thriller.

Priceless F. Scott Fitzgerald manuscripts stolen in a daring heist; a young woman recruited to recover them, and a beach-resort bookseller who gets more than he bargained for - all in one long summer on Camino Island.

Critic reviews

"January LaVoy's expert narration engages listeners.... She finds outstanding, distinctive voices for the various charismatic characters - from writers to academics to FBI agents. The sardonic edge to the dialogue includes all those involved in the book business, and LaVoy appears to enjoy their parties and conversations." ( AudioFile)

Featured Article: The Essential John Grisham in Audio


John Grisham is best known for his fast-paced legal thrillers and mysteries, many of which have been adapted for television and film. Because he’s so prolific and has been writing for decades, it can be difficult to know where to begin when selecting a title from his impressive back catalog. And Grisham is definitely a jack-of-all-trades: he’s written not only legal thrillers, but nonfiction, a series for kids, some humorous novels, and recently, a new mystery series outside of the legal thriller genre. To help you decide which Grisham gem to download next, we’ve compiled a list of the very best.

Grisham at his best

A clever story with almost believable characters, and an ending that choir me was unexpected. The narrative flies well, and since one of the principal characters was a woman the voice of a woman to read worked fine - of course to be honest the story is strong enough that the narration never calls attention to itself.
No apparent political or philosophical agendas to the story.

Okay

Not Grisham's finest work. He is certainly capable of far better, both from story and character standpoint.

A good summer read.


More light hearted than most Grisham novels. It is a great one to take to the beach and relax with. Decent storytelling and some colorful characters.

Fun "Light" Read

Any additional comments?

I've always been a Grisham fan, and this book did not disappoint. Don't pick this up expecting any kind of riveting legal drama. Nor is this book as solidly written as Painted House. However, Grisham still builds characters that are interesting with their own unique flaws. He still moves the story along at a good pace. And he still knows how to tell a story.

Stupid ending

I know Grisham is a book machine but I have to say that even though his stories are well written, they are becoming too thin. This will be my last Grisham book for a while....... no imagination.

Contrived and a bit silly

Lots of technique for the bad guys but the plot and ending are unsatisfactory.
Not quite tidy enough at the end.
