I liked the first Thorn book (Under Cover of Daylight), despite its idiosyncracies, that I immediately grabbed the second book in the series, Tropical Freeze. Very similar to the first, especially in its way of telling the "mystery" from all points of view, including both the villians and the heroe, so there really isn't any mystery, just wondering how Thorn will figure it out and what he'll do about it.

It was okay - very Florida Keys -- but the terminator-level killer that just shoots a lot of people and always gets away with it gives me a headache. The Ozzie character gave it an Elmore Leonard feel, but it's tough to match Elmore.
I became a little dumber as I read this book. It was like watching Miami Vice and thinking to yourself, "Self, this show is dumb. How about we read a book about it?"
My introduction to the side of Florida that few know about! A very funny easy read.
Thorn is starting to grow on me. I'm liking him more and more. And James W. Hall really comes up with some quirkly characters.
I love reading about the adventures of Thorn and Sugarman.
If you like Carl Hiaasen's books, you'll like this too! Outrageous characters and set in the Florida Keys. A good read. I'm going to get some more of this series for sure!
