Title: A Very good Mystery
Review: I found the story a bit laborious but generally a good read. Stone's "escape scene" defies reader credibility. Perhaps the author could have thought of a slightly more plausible set of circumstances that would have been no less credible. After all, this is not a Superman episode, but a simple lawyer ("How do you describe a lawyer dead on the ocean floor?") who does complicated things.Having spent some of my teenage years in and around the area of this novel I can relate very well to the scene painted here. I think it is very well done indeed. But, I think it's not as good as "Dead in the Water."This is a good book to take on a business trip: not too cumbersome, not too taxing, and absorbing when you need to be absorbed (like when waiting for a plane connection).
Is the review positive or negative?
