Kellie (USA: NC) (2007/05/20):
I love a good mystery. This is the 2nd of the Simon Shaw mysteries. Shaber is a master researcher. There was some interesting information about shipwrecks, the Wilmington area, hurricanes, WWII and the Civil War. This was also a pretty good story. Simon is definitely growing on me. He is a very likable character. He is at the beach near Wilmington with a friend of his. They are asked to help answer some questions about some coins found with a dead body. A dead body from the 40s they just dredged up off shore. Interestingly enough, the dead body is a relative of some locals. Simon thinks he is reluctant to get involved in another case but with the help of his former love interest, Julia, he is hot on the trail of a killer. A killer who is still killing. This was a mystery that had clues that threw you off the real motive. I liked that about this one. Shaber did a good job directing Simon and the reader off track. Although, Simon should have gone with his gut and proceeded with what he deduced in the first place, he reacted like anyone would and went on a couple wild goose chases. But these just brought him closer to Julia. It will be interesting to see what happens to this relationship in future books in this series. Looking forward to continuing this series
