Have you heard? John Grisham released a sequel to his popular 2017 Camino Island thriller (also available as eAudio), titled Camino Winds (also available as eAudio). In this sequel, the aftermath of a hurricane in Florida’s Camino Island resort results in several deaths, including the suspicious death of popular thriller writer Nelson Kerr. With the local police too overwhelmed with the disaster clean up, it’s up to local bookseller and roguish head of the literary society, Bruce Cable, to investigate Kerr’s death per request of the Kerr family. When Cable happens to find Kerr’s unpublished manuscript, it is clear that something bigger is at hand.
