Really great story! A good and fast read. This is the first book of Iris Johansen that I've read and am looking forward to reading more. The subtext of the issue of contemporary slavery is treated with honesty and reality.

I LOVED THIS BOOK FOR THE DOLPHINS IN IT MAKES ME WANT ONE. THE WAY IT WAS WRITTEN WITH THE MARINE LIFE IN IT WAS WONDERFUL. FOR THE DOLPHINS I DIDN'T THINK WOULD BE A MAIN CHARACTER THOUGH THEY TOOK JUST AS MUCH FOCUS FOR YOU WANTED TO CLIMB INTO THE STORY AND HELP SAVE THEM.

I've loved all of Iris Johansen's books. I like the way she entertwines familiar characters throughout each book. Fans and new readers of her work will both enjoy this immensely.
Good read like the drama of Iris Johansen
excellent book. Not an Eve Duncan series but very good nonetheless.
The best by of all by Johnsen.
Marine researcher Meils Nemid is treading dangerous waters - and she's about to be dragged under. She knows something that has already caused one oceanograher to disappear from the face of the earth... and that's only part of a past torn by violence and betrayal.
For Johansen fans: a marine researcher knows secrets that a savage killer is after. Can she and her beloved dolphins survive the threat?
My husband read this book and enjoyed it. He likes thrillers such as written by Cussler, Patterson and others.
a very different almost sci-fi type of thriller.
A high stakes treasure hunt...a twisted trail of murder...a secret one woman amy die to discover...and die to keep.

Taunt thriller takes place in the Carribean. Wonderful story for those who love the tropical ocean and the creatures who dwell in it.
I never read an Iris Johansen book I did enjoy.This one is Very Good.If you enjoy great suspense and intelligent characters this is for you!
Non-stop action, mystery and romance. What more could you ask for? Good from first page to last.
I call books like these "snack foods". If you want a good suspenseful quick read, Johansen is one author who has mastered that art form. Easy to read, fast paced, characters you care about and characters you want to kill. Like eating snack foods, you're not really hungry but you feel like a part of you wants to be entertained; you have a couple of hours to kill and something to chomp on would be just the ticket. This delicious thriller is about a group of people searching for a lost city, Marinth, that only one man, Paul, has access to a map. He's murdered and his adopted daughter, Melis, inherits everything, including the map. But she has no interest in locating the lost city and its treasures. She'd much rather spend time studying and playing with her 2 dolphins, Pete and Susie. A very wealthy man, Kelby, locates Melis to get her to show him the map and join him in searching for the city. While she is reluctantly considering this, an evil crime lord, Archer, is also looking for the city. He knows a secret about Marinth that would make him far wealthier than all the jewelry and artifacts reported to be in Marinth. As Kelby gets closer to the location of Marinth, he and Melis fall in love (not without some tension of course), Archer docks his huge yacht a couple of miles from Kelby, and the dolphins find some new friends. At this point it's hard to put the book down. Will Archer sabotage Kelby's plans? Will he hurt the dolphins? Will Kelby and Melis stay in love? Will they get to Marinth before Archer? Will the dolphins return from their play with their newfound friends to help Kelby and Melis locate the lost city? A very good snack food that delivers what it promises.
Couldn't put this book down. Very good suspenseful read.
Johansen offers a pulse-pounding thriller that takes suspense writing to an all-new level; deep below the surface, where a ruthless killer strikes without warning, without mercy..and with the deadliest intent.
Awesome book!

Great reading
Wonderful Iris Johansen thriller about a Marine researcher and Dolphin expert with a mysterious past. Full of suspense.
Typical Johansen - good read
I usually love Iris Johansen's suspense books, but I couldn't get into this one. There seems to be alot of random characters and I wasn't sure how most of them related to each other. The hero and heroine seemed to be searching for something call "marinth". I gave up after 70 pages, so I'm not sure if that is a person, a place, or a who knows what.

Just can't put down Johansen's books until the very end. Then can't wait for the next one.
this is about the island of marinth, a wealth city lost beneath the sea many years ago.
Iris Johansen will always be one of my favorite authors.
