Not my favourite of Parrish's books thus far, but the underlying story of human trafficking and worse hit home in many ways, especially considering the screenplay I wrote earlier this year was about the trafficking of women, albeit in Europe not the USA.

If you are into this Louis Kincaid series, then you certainly can't pass this one over. :-)

The characters are all pretty stereotypical, and don't show much growth. And the plot isn't brilliant. But the pacing is very impressive. Tense, taut, tightly written.

Pretty nasty story, but good addition to the series. I like the Collier County and Fakahatchee venues.

My penchant for mysteries in a series with women protagonists is "legendary," but I also have a penchant for ones with noir male protagonists of which this is one. It all began with Larry Block, Steven Greenleaf, and, of course, John D. MacDonald, among others, lo many years ago, but continues to this day with the likes of Archer Mayor, Steve Hamilton, Reed Farrell Coleman, Paul Doiran, Steve Ulfelder and now PJ Parrish. The definition of noir here is my own. Not all would necessarily agree...

I met this guy :D at a mystery fiction panel at my school he's friends with Christine Kling another mystery fiction author who taught my class. It was super rad.

I am reading a book by Parrish for the first time. While, the style of narration seemed 'stretched out' at several places, the contrived plot did come through fairly well. Given the opportunity, I wouldn't hesitate to read his other books.

PJ Parrish is just good readin'...There has not been one of the sisters books that I have not given a minimum of 4 stars to I believe. The Louis Kincaid character is one that a reader can easily buddy up to and looks forward to getting to know more and more!

I love P.J. Parrish's books. I realized that I had read this one quite awhile ago but it was good to be reacquainted with Louis and Joe's romance from the beginning. The author is good at painting a side of Florida that the average person never sees. I will admit that the dreariness of the weather in the background made me too depressed to keep reading a couple of nights ago. A good read for a wet and rainy spring.
