I really wanted to like this book. Come one this is Steve. Who does not love his work? One of the best in both of his fields if you ask me. Have not read all of his books, been trying to get the ones I never read or had before. But so far this has been the only book that I really have not liked. To me it liked the Cannell charm, and spunk.

Will give it another read since I couldn't get into the Shane Scully novels in the beginning years ago. And those were the first novels of his that I read. Still will get this copy to add to my selection

Kind of funny in a sad way; a Hollywood type sees a girl he 'wants' during a vacation to Hawaii. Trapped in a loveless marriage, he pursues her. He pursues her so much, he does some really weird things.

This book was a pick for our bookclub. We decided the book should be coined a typical chit-lik mystery. Old man suddenly falls deeply "in love" with a new bride he met on the beaches of Hawaii while she was on her honeymoon - the couples strike up a conversation, have some innoncent fun and return home.

Obsessed with the young women, the older guy begins to stalk her acros the country. At times the book is funny, predictible, weird and scary. For those who like a "light" mystery read without all the gore and details, this would be excellent. If you prefer more "meat and potatoes" to your stories, then I would suggest another book.
