2nd in series is enjoyable

Camino Winds by [John Grisham]

This was a great follow up to Camino Island; I really enjoy the characters, the pace and plot were both escapist from this pandemic, and it was a nice sequel. 

You didn't really have to have read the first, but enough little hints in this one, would probably make you want to read it, if you read this prior to reading the first book.

It is truly more of a cozy mystery series than a legal thriller, but I enjoyed this new genre of Grisham's.

The master storyteller




I loved this. I mean, really, King is a master storyteller, and each story here is just beautiful.  4 differing novellas, with interesting themes and plots. The beautiful part is each is comprised of heartfelt, well developed characters.

There wasn't a misstep in any of the four.  I love his prose, and fell into each story easily.  Highly recommend.

Christie like



This is what you expect, if you are looking for an Agatha Christie type of book.  Told from various viewpoints at a wedding, that takes place on an island. 

I enjoyed this escapist mystery, and really liked the ending.
