there was nothing wrong with the book but it was the uk edition. I have all other Grisham books (hardcover) in the USA edition (Doubleday). This is the only reason i returned it. I am still trying to find and buy the USA edition in Europe

Book Review – Camino Ghost – John Grisham Famous author John Grisham’s third book in the Camino Island series, “Camino Ghost” is a compelling story that explores the horrors of slavery and African culture. It is an excellent historical fiction tale that brings the characters and island life to existence. The absorbing plot and strong storyline make for an engaging read. The genuine story is about Dark Isle, a sliver of a barrier island not far off the North Florida coast. It was settled by freed slaves three hundred years ago, and their descendants lived there until 1955, until the last one was forced to leave. That last inheritor is an elderly black woman now, who loves her birthplace and its remarkable history. But now a huge, ruthless corporate developer wants to build a casino and resort on the island, which the elderly black woman believes is rightfully hers. The elderly black lady teams up with an author friend and plunges into an enormous fight over who rightfully owns the island. Together, they take on the heartless corporation, its lawyers, lobbyists, and powerful Florida politicians. The delivery of the fictional Black History tale reels the reader in. As usual, Grisham knows how to blend the right amount of seriousness, humor, and suspense to make the tale neutral and entertaining. The subject matter is quite fascinating and kept me eagerly reading to find out what happened next. The book is consistent - of course - with Grisham’s ‘top shelf’ storytelling. It kept me interested enough to finish in less than two days – which usually takes me a week to read. I really like Camino Ghost and consider it the best of the three Camino Island books in the series.
