Review: Good descriptions, no plot
Rating: 2 out of 5

A pilot turned investigator helps his friend find his missing sailboat. Bodies turn up unidentified, etc.Author Simmons writes well when talking about wine, airplanes, and vintage sailboats. He should stick to these topics.His plot is thin, superficial and just barely there. The mystery about who murdered who is solved not by investigative means but by tips from the Mafia and a weird ex-Vietnam killer who is the protaganist's friend (why? who knows?). The information comes from some unknown source that is never identified.Along the way, Jay meets the 3 most beautiful women he has known within a matter of days and they are all attracted to him. Very unlikely, since he is a middle-aged unremarkable figure.Other characters and just not believable.If you want to kill time and learn a little about wine, this book is for you. If not, forget this book. Pure fluff.I did give 2 stars because the author seems to write well about wine, etc.
