Technical aspects poorly researched, and wrong
Revisado: 04-17-22
I'm willing to grant artistic license to an author of fiction; but, in this book, the technical errors were gross, and so distracting that my enjoyment of the story was diminished.

Historia
Dead is dead. Missing is gone. When Felix Brewer meets nineteen-year-old Bernadette "Bambi" Gottschalk at a Valentine's Day dance in 1959, he charms her with wild promises, some of which he actually keeps. Thanks to his lucrative - if not all legal - businesses, she and their three little girls live in luxury. But on the Fourth of July in 1976, Bambi's comfortable world implodes when Felix, facing prison, vanishes. Though Bambi has no idea where her husband - or his money - might be, she suspects one woman does: his devoted young mistress, Julie.

Not for a male reader
Revisado: 02-15-22
I like stories in which a detective pursues and develops clues to identify and catch a murderer; but this book was much more about feelings and interpersonal relations between/among adolescent and immature young women. As a mature male, I'm less interested in such things.

An extraordinary combination of geography, history, suspense, characters, action, and surprising plot twists. The best of Isaac Bell Adventures 1 through 11.

Historia
Kurt Austin and his crew are back to slake their thirst for action as they attempt to drown an eco-extortionist's plan to control the world's freshwater supply. From deep within the Venezuelan rain forest emanates the legend of a white goddess and a mysterious tribe with startling technical accomplishments. Few believe the tribe exists, and even fewer suspect its deity can change the course of history.

The worst of 48 Clive Cussler books I've "read"
Revisado: 06-03-21
I have listened to audio versions of 19 Dirk Pitt novels, 14 of the NUMA Files, and 15 of the Oregon Files series; and this one is by far the worst. I don't recall giving fewer than four stars to any one other than this; but I can't give even two stars (meaning "OK") to this miserable snake-bitten audiobook. The story was badly mangled in abridgment; and the reading was pathetic.

Historia
When a local quarry yields a garroted body with bad dental work and toes tattooed in Cyrillic, Joe Gunther figures it's a Russian Mafia killing, rare as that might be in Vermont. But it's so very...tidy. So very...professional. Then the CIA calls, inviting Gunther down to Washington for some friendly "assistance" with his case. Suddenly he's caught up in a shadowy game of cross and double-cross.

The CIA
Revisado: 01-16-21
When a plot requires the supernatural, I feel that the author ran out of good ideas. I don't feel so strongly, but I do think less of the author of a detective-style murder mystery, particularly one set in northern New England, if his plot requires the Central Intelligence Agency. It's not that I dislike the CIA. In fact I have read and enjoyed *many* spy stories, be they fiction, nonfiction, or an uncertain blend of the two; but in my mind the spy/espionage genre is distinct from the detective/murder-mystery genre, and mixing them does not work. A reader needs one mindset when he/she reads a detective/murder-mystery story, and a quite different mindset he/she reads a spy story.
