Perhaps this really deserves 3 stars, but it wasn't really a mystery as I had expected, so I was disappointed. This is much more of a thriller-suspense book, as the villains are identified about a third of the way into the book. It did have some good twists, but the basic premise seemed a bit flawed. This former P.I. doesn't care that his newly-discovered cousin lies to him from the very beginning, makes no attempt to discover why it would be so terrible to let the police handle the theft or why it was important to the old man to have it returned... this stretched my suspension of disbelief almost to the breaking point!

This yarn is the second in the Wes Darling series. Wes is a former PI who lives on a boat and gets involved with messes and damsels in distress.

In this tale, he heads to Alabama to reconnect with family and has varied adventures in boats and the swampy world of the Gulf Coast.

The writing is clear. The action never stops and I am ready for the next book in this series whenever it gets published. Top notch book. It entertains (

A mystery kinda, an adventure, some suspense. This ex-P I.is at frequent times TSTL (too stupid to live) and endangers those around him with his constant need to sleep.

But saying that I liked the book, it kept me interested and turning pages. (

This was a pretty quick read and overall was pretty interesting. The storyline was decent. Wes Darling tries to find out about his family history and helps his newly discovered family with a problem. The characters were fun and interesting. The only thing that kept it from getting a higher rating from me was the ending was choppy. At first I thought the ending was too brief and it would never be resolved". Then I felt like it dragged out and would never end. It finally did wrap up and I could live with it. I'll probably continue the series." (

More of a suspense/thriller than a mystery. (
