Title: Miami madness that is hard to swallow
Product review: In this first book in the Barnaby and Hooker series, we meet Alex Barnaby, who has gone to Miami to find her brother after call from him was interrupted by a woman screaming. While she has an office job now, she used to be a gearhead and loves fast cars. It is clear that there are several people/groups searching for her brother, including NASCAR driver Hooker, who has had his boat stolen by her brother, Bill. They team up, with a lot of bad sexual tension. The plot gets more and more improbable, with implausible situations and ridiculous fixes to bad plotting, ranging from sunken treasure, Castro, fruit sellers with guns, and ending with a NASCAR fueled raid on a warehouse. The characters failed to draw me in, and while I am very willing to suspend disbelief for a good story, this was not a good story. This was a disappointment, and I don't know if I will read the second in the series.
