I took this book out from the library, and I was a little concerned about the golf ball on the cover. I hate golf. Still, the synopsis on the jacket looked good. I read the entire book in one day. Adam is a great leading character. He has real problems with authority, and a good sense of humor. He gets into incredibly dangerous scrapes and is human enough to wonder what the heck he was thinking, while still pulling them off. His girlfriend is a strong, intelligent woman, his sister is a raving witch, and the suspects are suitably weird. The story is witty and absorbing, and includes great descriptions of the beauty of the Oregon coast. Read this one, you won't regret it.
Who said a thriller could not be funny?

This book is great. It narrates the story of an ex-cop, who's now a struggling sculptor, Adam McCleet. Through an elaborate and twisted plot who is named heir of a very wealthy man, but in order to inherit his share he has to solve a murder. All through out the book the story is narrated in a very intelligent way and it has exactly the right amount of suspense, whit, sex and humour, which has been perfectly timed. All in all is the perfect book to read when you're feeling down and want something to cheer you up! It'll make you laugh and make you wanna keep reading so much that you'll finish it in no time.
