Review
A multi million dollar company has decided to build a giant resort on a deserted island between Florida and Georgia. But, Lovely Jackson stands in their way. She is the last surviving descendent of that island which has a remarkable history and is possibly cursed.
Lovely Jackson and her story just reels the reader in! I love this mystery and all the history surrounding this deserted island. The history is truly fascinating! Add in Lovely and her curse…and it is a read you won’t soon forget! And don’t think Lovely didn’t have the opposing lawyers number…oh she did!
This story started out strong with the intensity you expect from John Grisham. But the ending, it felt a bit rushed and not with the punch I expect from this author. But, I love John Grisham’s writing. No fluff just facts and fantastic characters.
Need a great story with sensational characters and incredible history mixed in…THIS IS IT!
I received this novel from the publisher for a honest review.

Grisham has been one of my authors the last 30 years. I’ve read every book, some of the earlier ones multiple times. Maybe it’s just me, but more often than not, the last 15 years I find most of his work lacking. It’s almost like he starts the story and loses interest and turns them in like a homework assignment. Just don’t get that excited anymore when a knew one comes out. Like I said, maybe it’s just me and I expect too much.
I happen to agree with you. He has lost his intrigue for me a bit. It is almost like..let me just get a book out there. But this one is a bit better than some of his latest.
