This happened to me last year with another book (Gwendy’s Magic Feather) and I was much harsher on that one – mainly because I don’t think the rush job led to a bad ending like it did with that one.

I felt a bit cheated to have everything I have been getting into resolved with some Clif Notes. Then, I guess he got a call from his publisher saying the book was due because suddenly it was several weeks later and everything that had been built up was summarized in a few pages and it moved on to the end game of the novel. Grisham spent a couple hundred pages developing this intricate mystery and setting up all the situations and characters with a precarious heightened intensity. The rush job: This was the odd part for me that kind of soured the whole experience. Maybe not really a con, but it just stands out as filler (and makes me hungry and thirsty) I think the book would be about one fourth shorter if the food a drink mentions were removed. Grisham and food: I have said in previous reviews that one of the biggest things I have always noticed with Grisham from the very first time I read him, he has to give detailed accounts of all the food and drinks consumed by his characters. Most of them are quirky writer types with interesting backgrounds. Fun characters: I like all the people we meet on Camino Island. Unique and intriguing plot/mystery: A mysterious death during a hurricane? Yes, please! But, something odd happened about 2/3 of the way through it. it has the typical feel of a John Grisham novel, and I thought at first it might come in highly for me.

Y en algún lugar del ordenador de Nelson está el manuscrito de su nueva novela. Pero Bruce comienza a preguntarse si algunos oscuros personajes de las novelas de su amigo podrían ser más reales que ficticios. ¿Quien querría matar a Nelson? La policía local está sobrepasada por los efectos del huracán y no se encuentra en condiciones de ocuparse del caso. Pero los indicios sugieren que la tormenta no fue la causa de la muerte de Nelson: la víctima recibió numerosos golpes sospechosos en la cabeza. Uno de los fallecidos es Nelson Kerr, amigo de Bruce y autor de thrillers. El huracán avanza destrozándolo todo y dejando casas derrumbadas, hoteles y tiendas destruidos, calles inundadas y una docena de muertos. Solo un pequeño grupo de irreductibles elige quedarse, entre ellos Bruce Cable, el propietario de la librería Bay Books. Cuando el huracán Leo se desvía de su curso previsto para dirigirse hacia Camino Island, en la costa de Florida, la mayoría de sus habitantes decide abandonar la isla.
