I like Liz. She is a real character. Doesn't take any nonsense from people, but is also diplomatic enough to know when to just ride with it, especially if it is her male colleagues making decisions about her new job as a rescue swimmer, as though she isn't even in the same helicopter as them!
Maggie is once again called upon to help with a gruesome crime. This time some body parts have been found in a cooler, floating in the ocean off the coast of Pensacola. She heads on down there, at the request of her pal Charlie Wurth, even though there is a Cat 5 hurricane on it's way there too.
I enjoyed this fast paced thriller: it doesn't slow down, lot's of action and plenty of gross bloody references. We get to see a bit of Benjamin Platt too, which is always nice. 😊 I can't even try to say half of the names of the bacteria and infections he goes on about, but it works well with the character and his story, so I will let him have that one.
Joe Black as the bad guy is quite a chilling character. I wouldn't like to meet him down a dark alley, or anywhere for that matter. I found the setting of Pensacola, Florida really interesting and well described. It felt as though I was right there, waiting for that hurricane to hit! And Liz's bro-in-law Scott, well, he is just pathetic- enough said.
Just as good as the other Maggie books, I would recommend. 😊
