Customer Reviews

Truly Fits Its Subtitle, `A Mystery'

When I was given "Wyatt's Revenge"--also by Griffin--to review, I was unaware it was the last in a four-book series. Many times, you read a book and knowing a sequel or a trilogy is planned--much the way it is with movies--you worry the subsequent books won't be as good as the original. When Terry Griffin writes a book, nothing could be further from the truth. Not yet having read the two in the middle--I just finished "Longboat Blues" the first in the series--I am filled with anticipation for the second and third. Matt Royal is a retired attorney whose friend Logan Hamilton finds himself in a heap of trouble when he's accused of killing his now-and-then girlfriend, Connie Sanborne. In true mystery fashion, not everything is as it seems. There are little twists and turns that bring Matt on a convoluted ride involving drugs, a three million dollar airplane, a dirty politician and a surprise in the shape of a very special woman. I love the way Royal is so hands on when defending his friend. He finds more information than any guy with a badge ever could. Right up to the end, Griffin kept me guessing what was going to happen and when I found out why Logan "ran" I was astounded and very happy. This book truly fits its subtitle, `A Mystery', and if that's what you enjoy, you'll love this. Do yourself a favor and pick up a copy. You won't be sorry.

Longboat Blues

I really enjoyed this book. It is a great beach read. I am spending the month on Longboat key and will visit some of the places mentioned in this book. Hope Mr. Griffin writes more books.
