Critics Review
Praise for Camino Winds - :
Cable is an engaging protagonist, full of ambiguities, a man whose own morality is full of ‘grey areas’… Camino Winds has all the usual Grisham hallmarks - a pacy plot, tension-filled scenes - and the descriptions of a storm-battered island are well executed - IndependentIn 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 SingThe Camino Island series, featuring trouble-prone bookseller Bruce Cable, is a chance for Grisham to have fun… A perfect escapist mix of detective action, insider riffs on the literary world - and even a little romance - Mail on SundayAnother gem from John Grisham… There is something very soothing about Camino Winds , despite the fact it deals with more than one brutal murder and a drugs conspiracy. The follow-up to Grisham’s Camino Island , it’s very different in tone to his legal thrillers… Grisham knows what he’s doing - ObserverAnother compelling read from Grisham, and will satisfy old fans and please new readers alike - Press AssociationThe novel has enough plot twists to keep you engaged without it feeling exhausting. Another compelling read from Grisham - The HeraldA perfect summer read, enjoying all his plotting wizardry and deft characterisation - Irish IndependentAbout The Author
