I never saw the ending coming or figure out what really happened to Nelson. The mystery in this novel was pitch-perfect too. However, I will say Myra was one of my favorites. I thought Grisham did a great job giving each character a unique personality. They were well-rounded, fun, and just your typical group of authors. I also have stayed during hurricanes, so I could definitely relate to the descriptions, which I thought were very accurate. What made this book better for me is living in Florida and being familiar with the island. It was a fast read with a lot of intrigue. Or did he really just go outside to chase his dog and get hit in the head by a branch? It’s a question you’ll have to read the book to find out. Does his new novel have anything to do with why he was killed? Bruce, Bob, and Nick, though, start to wonder if Nelson’s death had anything to do with his latest book in which no one has ever read. However, this death happened during a deadly hurricane, and amid the devastation, it’s hard to get the proper equipment to the scene of the crime to prove their theory. That question spirals the plot of the book as Bruce, Bob, and Nick gives their testimonies to the police about the suspicious stains they saw on a wall. Why would Nelson go outside during a Category 4 hurricane?
For Nick, he decides it wasn’t an accident.
Bob Cobb, another author, lives nearby and goes with Bruce and Nick to the scene. What makes it worse is their friend and author, Nelson Kerr, dies during the hurricane. With it hitting just below a Category 5, Bruce stays and hunkers down with Nick Sutton. Little does anyone know, Hurricane Leo, made a turn and is heading straight for the island. The night is filled with fun, drinking, and gossip.
Bruce’s wife, Noelle, is in France with her boyfriend, leaving Bruce with instructions on how to set the table. Bruce wines and dines them like he does every author, holding a dinner party at his house for them. The day before, she arrives with her new boyfriend, Thomas, who is also one of her students. The best-selling novel Mercer based around her grandmother. She is making a stop at Bay Books to sign autographs and do a reading of Tessa. The book takes off when Mercer Mann returns to town ahead of Hurricane Leo.
