I've read countless Grisham novels and have enjoyed almost all of them, including some of his offbeat entries (e.g., "Playing for Pizza," which I enjoyed immensely). However, "Camino Island" is not a good book, and but for the Grisham name, I doubt it would have been published. It drifts from a promising suspense/thriller text into a tepid romance novel populated with predictable characters. The scenario behind the role of the protagonist is implausible, and the conclusion is bland and unsatisfying. If you must read the latest Grisham work, help yourself, but don't expect it to meet his typical level of quality.
