5.0 out of 5 stars I loved it, couldn't put it down till I was done!, July 6, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Hard Aground (Paperback)

Hall's writing style captures the gritty essence of the redneck characters, and the plot takes readers on a tour of the raunchy side of Florida society. I don't know how much of the book's historical setting is accurate, but it sure is entertaining! The plot has multiple twists, even after you thought you had it figured out. You won't be able to put this one down.

This review is from: Hard Aground Pb (Paperback)

I read a lot of books in the mystery genre that deals with Florida, and I keep being told to try James W. Hall, the Thorn series. But I found a used book, HARD AGROUND, outside the Thorn series and decided to try it before trying his series stuff. This book is very good. Nice story line, fun characters and good witty dialogue. Perhaps a little predictable but worth my time in a hammock or at the beach. The story deals with the death of Daniel Tyler and with it his secret location for lost treasure an how brother Hap and Dan's girl friend Marguerite work together (really together) to unlock the mystery and stay alive. RECOMMENDED. Will try Thorn for sure.
