I thought this was a highly enjoyable read. I loved the unusual setting of Spain's Costa Brava coastline and thought it very original. Protagonist Alex Scott was a likeable chappy who unwittingly found himself caught up in some dangerous goings-on in the sun. The book was very well-written and raced along at a good pace. The twists and turns were excellent and just when I thought I'd figured it out, the author threw in another curveball to put me off the scent. Just the sort of book I enjoy reading.
My thanks to author David Kennedy for providing a copy of this book.
