A satisfyingly complex plot with lots of explicit action
Mike Monahan's "Barracuda" deftly weaves together the storylines of a mutant barracuda, a convalescing NYPD detective, an uneasy alliance between branches of the Russian Mafia and Japanese Yakuza, a brand-spanking-new diving resort, extreme Aussie divers, a couple of geeky scientists, and Bikinian terrorists.
When the above characters all meet up at a Bikini Atoll diving resort, mayhem and bedlam erupt. You...more

Mike Monahan's Barracuda is an action packed fish tale. As a scuba diver, I may never enter the water again without thinking twice. "It" as Mr. Monahan calls his mutant killer fish is a loathsome creature.

Take the bait! Read this book! You’ll be hooked!
You don’t need to be a police officer, a scuba diver expert or a fisherman to enjoy this one, folks. It doesn’t matter if you are male or female. What you do need is to set aside your time, have your meals for the day already prepared and find a comfortable seat. Let the answering machine answer your calls.

Barracuda was a great read. I'm sure it would also make a compelling movie.
I love to read mysteries and thrillers that take place in places I haven't visited, and Barracuda didn't let me down. The interesting mix of cultures at Bikini Atoll and descriptions of the islands were fascinating along with the action and the complex recovery of a New York cop from emotional and physical trauma.
Barracuda will make a great read for scuba divers, thriller readers, and travelers.
