review 1: I just finished this book a few min's ago and I couldn't wait to tell you all how much I enjoyed it. Maybe it was the tropical setting, one I am personally in love with, or maybe it was the action our hero - "Zach-o" gets caught up in as he goes on a deadly mission to find the "lost" daughter of his dear and dying longtime friend, Mickey. A mission which takes him by land, sea and air in and around the islands. Or, maybe it was the cool cover which caught my eye on the bookshelf. It's all good...whatever it was. Intrigue and bad guys - Bahamian style, with great narration, description of the locale AND the food kept this book rolling right along, no dips, slowdowns or rough patches. Morris keeps the tension cranked with all the right elements throughout and takes us o... moren the grand tour of the chain of islands 90 miles from where I sit. I liked this book and I'll be looking to read another in the series next, after I catch up on a few other review commitments. This was my first Bob Morris book and won't be my last.
review 2: I am an admitted Bob Morris fan. I love mysteries and think Morris's Zach Chasteen series is one of the best. In the latest, Baja Florida, Morris has settled into his characters and tells an intriguing tale set on a sailboat and islands in the Bahamas. Morris's extensive knowledge of the region shines through with writing that resonates with a sense of place. I was filled with both hunger and wanderlust when I read Baja Florida...and an urge to pour myself a rum to sip... The characters are well-written and compelling. With each book in the series, they are growing and evolving. It is what I like most of these books. Instead of repeating the same mistakes to create tension, Zach has moved from a (falsely-accused) inmate to husband and father. I like that we get to see a new side to him with each book and feel like I am reading about an old friend. He is a great character to keep revisiting. I devoured Baja Florida. My only complaint, I have to wait for Bob to write the next in the series. less
