Publisher's summary

#1 New York Times bestselling author John Grisham takes you back to Camino Island where bookseller Bruce Cable and novelist Mercer Mann always manage to find trouble in paradise.

In this new thriller on Camino Island, popular bookseller Bruce Cable tells Mercer Mann an irresistible tale that might be her next novel. A giant resort developer is using its political muscle and deep pockets to claim ownership of a deserted island between Florida and Georgia. Only the last living inhabitant of the island, Lovely Jackson, stands in its way. What the developer doesn’t know is that the island has a remarkable history, and locals believe it is cursed…and the past is never the past…

Wonderful story!

I loved the story and the narrator - excellent! Once I started listening I had to finish. Looking forward to the next books in this series!

Narration is painful

Love the series, but hard to get through with W.G. as the narrator. Maybe the worst I’ve heard in over 400 books in my library.

Whoopi Goldberg reading!

Loved it! Story good, loved Whoopi’s reading it. Courtroom part was great. Characters relatable. Grisham worthy.

good story so so narration

Not his usual fare but a good story. I like Whoopi Goldberg but thought her narration was lacking. I think Xe Sands would have been a better choice.

Score evened!

Well told story, made excellent by the reader! As we are reminded African Natives were brutally captured, whipped, beaten, raped, tortured and then shipped like animals to slavery. Hooray for the Dead Island!! So many valid points made. Lovely's long memory and grudges are understandable, her mistrust well placed. Only one loose end...a non profit and board members who are not aware of taxes...could there be another story?

Oh, Whoopi, stick to acting!

Such a disappointment. I'm only an hour or so into this book, and I'm not sure I'll make it through. I love Grisham as a writer and Whoopi as an actor, and I was really excited to listen to this book--I even pre-ordered it. But it is a serious struggle to get past Whoopi's narration enough to appreciate the story. It has become very clear to me that a great actor doesn't necessarily equal a great reader. Regardless, I'll try to hold out longer and continue listening (at 1.2 speed, which is needed) to see if the story eventually compensates for the narration. I'm just sorry I didn't wait to read the reviews; had I done so, I would have at least known what to expect. Sorry, Whoopi. Grisham, next time please do better.

Enjoyable but not Grisham’s best.

I’ve read every Grisham novel and this one was middle of the road in my opinion. Narration also was not what I was expecting for a Grisham audiobook. Whoopi is no Michael Beck when it comes to narration.

A wonderful story with excellent narration

I found this to be a wonderful listen. I literally could not put it down. Whoopi Goldberg does an amazing job with the narration. I felt like my mother was reading it to me. another great story from John Grisham. I highly recommend it.
