Review: 1980s cop show on a Florida beach
Rating: 4 out of 5

A well written short story and the perfect length for the story being told; any longer and the plotline would have needed a major complication or two. Another reviewer mentioned that it has the feel of a 1980s crime drama, cheesy and endearing, and I agree. The LEO who drinks too much, has bad relations with the press, follows his instincts when there aren't any clues... it's all there. The ending fell a bit flat for me; while it fittingly concludes the story, it doesn't entirely seem to fit the main character as presented. The excellent writing makes up for any loss there. Four stars.
