Status Updates From Het eiland (Camino Island, #1)

Started Chapter 4, The Beachcomber, where Mercer spends her day at Camino Island looking at the stores, seeing the sights, and visiting fellow writers Myra & Leigh.

This chapter is a solid conversation piece about writers and the sights of living in Camino Island. I do feel that this book is nice to read on the beach while sipping a beverage. This is a very relaxing book to read, if the tension isn’t there.

Finished Chapter 3, where Mercer gets advice from Elaine, and Denny confronts Joel, the felon owner of Dumbarton Gallery.

Looks like things are cooking with some mystery brewing in the background. I wonder how Mercer, Denny & Bruce Cabal’s storylines will intersect. Needless to say, I’m very interested in what comes next.

Continued Chapter 3, where Mercer arrives at her place on Camino Island and reminisces on the good times with her relative Larry.

This is a nice cozy chapter with conversions on Mercer’s life and her past, also there is a mention of Tessa’s passing. This book does shift genres, but this part of the book is a real easy read. Also, the first act is up, and we have all the things in place. What will happen next?

Started Chapter 3: The Recruit, where a struggling writer, Mercer Mann, is recruited by a top-secret enforcer, Elaine, to go to Camino Island to investigate the missing manuscripts, even if Mercer has her doubts.

A fifth of the way through and we have finally met our protagonist, Mercer Mann, a struggling writer who is desperate for money, and had a childhood going to Camino Island as a young girl.
