Quite a different book to the previous Grisham’s I have read but very enjoyable.
Priceless handwritten scripts from F. Scott Fitzgerald are stolen from a university library and turn up in a book store on Camino Island and Mercer, a writer with writer’s block,is sent by an insurance company to syp on the bookseller to try and find the manuscripts.
This is not a legal thriller, there are no courtroom dramas, in fact it is a softer story that never really gets very thrillery, just bounces along almost setting the thriller bell ringing.
The characters are pleasant people, the setting is nice and the people are good with each other. There’s very little friction in the book but that said, it is well written and the storylines merge together to show more than one group are after the scripts.
Really not much to say about it other than it was just what I needed to read. A quick book that floated along. Some might call it a summer or beach read. Nothing wrong with that!


I’d love to hear what you think
