An early entry into crime fiction by Hiaasen, who would later be lauded for his darkly humorous books of inept Florida crime. Trap Line does not include this humour, rather opting for a serious tone.

Set in the commercial fishing world of southern Florida, a fisherman comes up against organised crime. If it wasn't by Hiaasen I wouldn't have picked it up. (

True Carl Hiaasen with more action and suspense and less humor. This was a really good story. No silly happy endings for this guy though. Tough, flawed "hero" that is also typical of Hiaasen. I really enjoyed the book. (

This was my second reading of this early story from Hiassen (with Bill Montalbano). With solid pacing and adequate characterization, I consider it to be a collection of Hiaasen's ideas that would eventually lead him into a successful career as a mystery writer. The only thing it lacks is the trademark black humor. (
