review 1: I didn't like the preciously self-conscious tone and I didn't like reading 55 pages and having only one thing happen that wasn't back-story. I don't like that the title is the same as that of a book by John D. MacDonald. I don't like that this is touted as a "literary" thriller, a pompous, foolish adjective begging the comparison that there are a great many "ordinary" thrillers more intelligent and "literary" than this one.
review 2: I really like "Dead Low Tide" and it's companion novel "The Hunt Club". Both are set in the Charleston area and have great characters. Huger Dillard, his fathter Leland, and his on again/off again girlfriend, Tabitha, who is a deaf-mute, African-American post doc. They all have layers which helps tell stories that are unlike the
... morewhite-washed tales of the Charleston area that you get from other works of fiction. less

Slow to get started. Not much in the way of suspense. Skip it unless you're a Bret Lott fan.

The second in what I hope will be a long series of literary mysteries by a writer I admire.

Nice and twisty. I enjoyed the book and like the author.
