The book drew me in and is a very easy read. I was extremely disappointed in the ending, or lack of ending. It was like "where is the remainder of the book???" I thought there would be an exciting, impactful, surprise end with perhaps Bruce and Mercer being taken hostage by the original thieves, beaten until the manuscripts were produced, something, anything other than the actual pathetic ending. It needed a twist ending but not the one offered which was silly and underwhelming. I am moving on to reading Camino Winds. I am hopeful that the failings of Camino Island are not replicated in Camino Winds.

A waste of viewing time. We kept watching hoping it would pick up. Never did. And having most of the dialogue in French with subtitles served no creative purpose whatsoever. We found ourselves fast forwarding trying to get to better parts that, unfortunately, did not exist. One mystery I am left with: is the Mother of the artist, both of whom lived on the grounds, really a man dressed as a woman?
