Book Description

An Inspector Bliss Mystery November 1, 2001

In The Fish Kisser, a megalomaniac becomes determined to exact revenge on the Western world through a devious plot of global cyber-warfare. He enlists his own agents to track down and kidnap the experts and educated elite that can help him accomplish the unthinkable. With a series of staged deaths and disappearances, he sets his plan in motion.

When the hired henchmen target Roger LeClarc, an English computer expert with a dark secret of his own, the hunters become the hunted. English detective David Bliss, who chased and was chased around the English countryside in Missing: Presumed Dead, teams up with Dutch detective Yolanda Pieters to solve this improbable affair. Fighting internal politics, stumbling upon government cover-ups, and even battling Saddam Hussein's Republican Guard, together they chase a trail of blood, intrigue, and romance across Europe to Iraq in a desperate search for the kidnapped specialists. Fans of the David Bliss character will not be disappointed as James Hawkins turns the action up several notches.

2.0 out of 5 stars It could have been better, July 23, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: The Fish Kisser: An Inspector Bliss Mystery (Paperback)
What to say? The plot could work, but there are too many side plots. What on earth is Trudy doing in there? I suppose showing us what a horrible guy LeClarc is, but she doesn't really do much for the plot in my opinion. In both this and "Missing Presumed Dead," by Hawkins, there are too many internal maunderings/ruminations going on that are nearly impossible to distinguish from the conversations that they interrupt.

But worst, for me, is the absolute abuse of the English language that appears in both books by Mr. Hawkins. Missed capitalization (not capitalizing sentences that are supposed to have been written in all caps), missed lower case (leaving a sentence in all caps that should have been in lower case), poor spelling (train fair, for the money that one uses to pay for the train), misapplied apostrophes, and just plain bad English! And this, in a book in which several times journalists were criticized for their use of the language.

Sorry, but for me that detracts from a book, and it was detracting enough to keep me from enjoying the book.
