I was not prepared for such an improvement of DeMaria's skills as a fiction writer. While I could give only 3 stars to his first Jake Scarne book, I am joining now other readers awarding him all five.No borrowing from old James Bond movies. No boring descriptions of golf games.A fairly credible story based partially on reported events. You will find soon enough.Mixture of blasting and praising Bahamas resorts - I have been to Bahamas only once and spent all the time snorkeling and watching barracudas reciprocating by giving me the evil eye. In the ocean, of course, not in an aquarium.There is some continuity with the first Jake Scarne book but it is not at all a sequel.I can only congratulate the author for giving us a good read, with many original twists and turns and kind of politically correct in NOT depicting two gay guys as merciless murderers. The stereotype of interior designers fits much better.Highly recommended.
