Publisher's summary

New York Times best-selling author Paul Kemprecos' first mystery novel, Cool Blue Tomb, introduces Aristotle "Soc" Socarides - part-time fisherman, part-time private eye, full-time philosopher.

In his inaugural outing, Soc is swimming with the sharks - only problem is, he's the bait. Mix a 50-million dollar salvage operation, an expert diver dead at the bottom of the sea, and an elegant mermaid in a black Porsche and you have an open invitation to dip into troubled waters. Cool Blue Tomb - a crackling deep-water suspense novel of violence, passion, and betrayal.

Just Average

The story was passable. I feel like the narration destroyed the story. Audiobooks seem better when narrated by actors. I don't want to nitpick, but I'm definitely avoiding any further books in the series if narrated by the same guy.
