Whoopi Goldberg proves to be the perfect voice for John Grisham's fascinating mystery about a haunted island off the coast of Florida settled by escaped enslaved people in the 1700s and now marked for development into a casino resort. She captures the courage and determination of the characters as, each in their own way, they try to save the uninhabited and inhospitable Dark Isle. Goldberg is particularly adept at portraying novelist Mercer Mann, who becomes fascinated with the island and with its last inhabitant and designated owner, Lovely Jackson. With the help of a small bookstore owner from nearby Camino Island and a handful of others, Mann tries to tell the story of the island and its people and stop the developers from turning the historic island into a playground for the wealthy.
