About this listen

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Escape to Camino Island, where bookseller Bruce Cable and novelist Mercer Mann always manage to find trouble in paradise.

Mercer Mann, a popular writer from Camino Island, is back on the beach, marrying her boyfriend, Thomas, in a seaside ceremony. Bruce Cable, infamous owner of Bay Books, performs the wedding. Afterward, Bruce tells Mercer that he has stumbled upon an incredible story. Mercer desperately needs an idea for her next novel, and Bruce now has one.

The true 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, when the last one was forced to leave. That last descendant is Lovely Jackson, elderly now, who loves her birthplace and its remarkable history. But now Tidal Breeze, a huge, ruthless corporate developer, wants to build a resort and casino on the island, which Lovely knows, deep down, is rightfully hers.

Mercer befriends Lovely, and they plunge into an enormous fight over who owns Dark Isle, taking on Tidal Breeze Corporation, its lawyers, lobbyists, and powerful Florida politicians. But Lovely knows something about the island that could seriously cloud the dollar signs in the developer’s eyes: the island is cursed. It has remained uninhabited for nearly a century for some very real and very troubling reasons. The deep secrets of the past are about to collide with the enormous ambitions of the present, and the fate of Dark Isle—and Camino Island, too—hangs in the balance.

Critic reviews

“Light-hearted . . . The Camino books have felt like palate cleansers for Grisham, something fun to do before tackling the weightier issues that usually form the backbone of books such as The Client. . . . Grisham makes sure the book moves like the winds that buffet his fictional island.”—Minneapolis Star Tribune

Love the series, but hard to get through with W.G. as the narrator. Maybe the worst I’ve heard in over 400 books in my library.

Narration is painful

Interesting story but difficult to listen to. I do a better job reading to my children

Terrible Narrator

Had I read who was doing the audible I wouldn't have purchased. I would've just bought the book. Whoopi didn't do the book justice. I've read or listened to every book by John Grisham and this was horribly read that I couldn't finish.

I have never found any John's books bad or even just not good this one is the exception. don't wast your time or money. The narrator was also a poor choice.

Story was interesting but not well told.

Whoopi Goldberg’s narration made this a brutal listen. Had to use 1.5x speed to get through it. Too many times her NY accent came through. Not a great idea to have a New Yorker try a southern accent. The most annoying thing was the constant and awkward up-tilts in her voice at the end of some sentences where it just did not make sense. The director has to take some blame here too. Overall, not Grisham best work, but not his worst either.

Brutal narration

Now I know to always look beforehand at who’s narrating. Even though I can’t stand her as a person, I thought she’d be talented enough to narrate this book. Not so.

Terrible narration

This was another amazing page Turner book one you can’t put down only made better by the perfect narrator will be Goldberg couldn’t have been a better person to tell this story.

Another great book with the perfect narrator

Love the island being a main character in the story. Lovely was lovely and carried the story in a noble, wise manner. I’m a big Whoopi fan, so icing on the cake!

Justice & kindness prevailed

Wonderful story horrified at the ignorance of my four Bears I’m older than lovely. I wish I had the words to express my feelings. Beautiful story.

Loved it
