The author starts out with a charming and entertaining  forward, saying you may not like the book, but you certainly won't be bored.I loved the book, and who had time to be bored?! The hero is a cross between James Bond and Indiana Jones.  A charmer, well trained in jujitsu,  trying to solve a puzzle, while  holding back secrets of his own. Not much gets past him, and he keeps his head in one of the hairiest dilemmas in book or movies, with a most creative exit strategy. The villain is sleekly and self satisfiedly villanous, and the heroine, while she never gets too  too involved in the action, very blessedly isn't a shrinking violet, as so many women in novels of this era are.Gives a fine flavor of early 1920'ish Florida, with rich descriptions by someone who clearly knew the turf. Or coral reefs, as it were. Fast paced and avoids the sometimes cloyingly antiquated prose from books ten or twenty years earlier. Please note, the book is published online as-is, and there are a few now-derogatory words and character descriptions that appear, but there may be some redeeming surprises on that count at the end of the book.An easy evening's read, fun, and free to download.  God bless Amazon and Kindle for making these available. These old forgotten classics are so much fun to read. I will certainly look to see if there are more available by this  author.And to the reviewer who gave it two stars for being "too slow", good heavens, man. You have to read more than the first five pages!  Dr. Seuss has action in the first page or two. I recommend the good doctor  highly, if you don't have the patience.  Sheesh...
