review 1: As I really liked the first novel featuring Daniel Boone, the surfing investigator, I definitely wanted to continue the series. And again, 'The Gentlemen's Hour' was a very enjoyable read, depicting the surfer community in a very easy-going way. The case itself is quite thrilling, not too constructed and comes with a rather surprising end. Besides the main plot, the book focuses on the protagonist, who is pondering about his future life. Although it is quite an ordinary theme, I really liked the 'Will he get her' subplot. I also appreciated that the back-story explaining the region and it's history was not as prominent as in the first book. The author focuses on the case, the investigator and his thinking. Overall, Winslow did very well in sketching a vivid picture of sout... morehern Pacific Coast and its inhabitants.
review 2: The Gentlemen’s Hour, by Don Winslow, a-minus, Narrated by Holter Graham, Produced by Simon and Schuster Audio, Downloaded from audible.com.This is the sequel to the earlier book, “The Dawn Patrol” in which we see former cop turned private eye, Boone Daniels, part of the surfer’s club, The Dawn Patrol, pulled into conflict. He is hired to find proof that a defendant, from another surfing troop, accused of murdering one of the dawn patrol, is not guilty. By participating in this investigation, particularly when he begins to believe the accused man isn’t guilty, puts him into direct conflict with the rest of the Dawn Patrol and he stands to lose the best friends he’s had throughout his life. This is again an entertaining book full of the characters first introduced in the Dawn Patrol. It gets its name from the fact that the surfing crew that comes out right after the Dawn Patrol each day is called The Gentleman’s Hour, made up of surfers who are on the wane from their original professional standing. I hope we have more Boone Daniels books. less
