My review isn't good--I've liked the character, Jack Swyteck, and have read a lot of the series but this one just did not interest me at all, the topic of an oil spill then a trip to Cuba just didn't appeal to me at all and I found it to be very draggy and slow. I didn't care for the side story of his wife, Andie, as she goes undercover and can't even let him know where she is or anything and along with all that she is pregnant and going undercover? wouldn't that be insensitive of the FBI? oh well it didn't interest me enough to continue.

The best I can say is the story held my attention throughout. All things considered, for me, it was just Okay. I originally rated this on Goodreads and according to the Goodreads rating system, OK is just 2 stars. And for a writer as talented as James Grippando, anything less than 3 stars just does not seem right. Beyond 3, would mean I "really liked it", and that would be a lie. Apart from Theo and Jack (how could anyone not like Jack?), I could not seem to develop anything more than some remotely positive feelings, certainly not for any of the female characters, and I couldn't seem to escape the feeling as the story progressed like I hope this ends soon, yet it continued to drag on. As for Theo, well for me he is to Jack kind of like Abbott is to Costello (do I have that backward?), you know, always the jokester, which is almost a trademark of Gippando's Jack Swyzack series novels. So, all things considered, I gave it 3 stars. One thing is certain, for Jack Swyzack fans you won't be disappointed.
