After loving Camino Island and looking forward to the next installment, I was a bit disappointed. This book lacked the depth and energy I’ve come to expect from Grisham books. It was entertaining but not engrossing.

Too much toxic masculinity. I liked Camino Island better.

A good, light easy read. What I usually refer to as brain candy.

Having enjoyed Camino Island, I was excited to read Camino Winds. While I enjoyed the overall storyline of the first book a little more, I felt the second book was also very good.
The small tourist island's popular bookstore, Bay Books, is owned by Bruce Cable and he is surrounded by his quirky, entertaining group of literary friends. When Hurricane Leo pounds the island, in addition to leaving behind devastating damage, one of Bruce’s writer buddies is left dead and it sure looks like murder. With the local police unable to handle this type of case, Bruce and his friends work to solve the probable crime. It doesn’t hurt that his college intern Nick Sutton is a budding mystery writer and has more insight into the case than the police.
It’s a fun, fast who-done-it. Will there be a Camino #3? I sure hope so.

Camino Winds in the second book of the Camino Island series. I thought the first book was brilliant. And this, not so much. I liked it only in parts. I also liked how there's a novel inside a novel. And the part where the island is being hit by the hurricane reminded me of the horrors the 2015 earthquake of Nepal. Overall, a nice read but I'm a little disappointed.

This mini series by Grisham was fantastic and quite refreshing. The recurring characters kept the story alive and pushing onward. The plot kept thickening and I was impressed with the writing. Who doesn’t love a good storm?
Apparently my reviews take too long to write.

A quick read, and you don't have to read "Camino Island" first because Grisham fills you in with "Camino Winds."
I can't put my finger on why, but, for me, the ending was disappointing. Maybe because it's an unexciting and ho-hum wrap-up of the crime and it's solution.
The nursing home aspect of the book is, sadly, right on (MAYBE with the exception of the fictional life-prolonging drug--but remember, fiction IS based on real life), and I can write this because of past and ongoing personal experience.
