So this book was better than I expected it would be. I don't think it was amazing or anything but I was pretty engaged in what was going on and basically flew through the book trying to find out.
Murder, mystery, thriller type book. It was a fun experience. Not sure I would read it again but I did enjoy it quite a bit.

In the Everglades of Florida bodies of women are showing up and a prosecutor from the state attorney's office gets mixed up in the middle of the investigation and the crime. Abe lost his first wife to cancer, but he hasn't left the family of his late wife behind and his current wife may not be ok with his connection to them. At the same time, his friends in law enforcement are searching for a serial killer that gets close to home for him.
I read this book in one day - two sittings! I was completely riveted from the beginning. Abe was a great character and I loved that I started out completely on his side but started to waver and question him - I didn't mind losing faith in him during my reading.

Pretty good. A little awkward in terms of language and descriptions at some parts, but the story was compelling and it was an overall enjoyable read. I thought I saw the end coming, but I did not.

too much time spent on descriptions and backstories. hate the "my wife is a bitch" trope. hate the way he talks about women. hate the way black people are only discussed in relation to their race and their connection to the main character. hate how in the first 7 chapters we've met a multitude of white people but the only black people we've met were two dead black women (both of whom the main character fucked), victims of enslavement, and a violent Black guy with bipolar disorder. hate the use of accent writing. hate the fact there was a discussion around "black lovers". hate the random, useless sex scenes with horrible descriptions. hate the fact that the author felt the need to tell us the main character jacked off thinking about a black girl in high school and then cried because he thought that meant he was racist. the author is 65 and you can tell.

The first quarter of this book was super slow for me but it finally picked up around the half way mark and when it grabbed me, it didn't let go. This book kept me on the edge of my seat and it kept me guessing. Despite it's slow start, I do highly recommend this one.
