The sixth entry in the Dar and Kerry saga and in this one it definitely turns into a saga.

Dar and Kerry take some time off around Christmas and New Years, the holidays. Or, they try to. Their plan is to take their boat down to the American Virgin Islands, do a lot of diving and even more relaxing, a leisurely vacation. Of course, a relaxing vacation is not likely to happen for Dar and Kim in Good's world because that would make quite a short and boring book, and this novel is definitely not boring.

So, when they get down to the Virgin Islands they stop by Bud and Charlie's restaurant (they also have a kid named Rufus). They're old friends of Andy's from the Navy (and I thought that they and Andy's backstory was intriguing) as well as being partners (in the gay way, not business way). They're one of the couple of subplots, but they're just the start of the story. The main plot is about pirates, and PIs, and quite the family drama that thankfully doesn't have anything to do with either the Roberts or Stuart family.

It has a lot of physical thriller (instead of the usual corporate thriller) and a bit of a mystery too. Are people who they say they are, who's on which side, etc. And on occasion it does almost stretch to the believable, but never breaks it.

I do have to say that it took me a bit longer than usual to get into the story, into its flow because it was a different sort of story topic than Good has done before.

Still it was a great novel, exciting, most definitely kept me on the edge of my seat. ( )
