4.0 out of 5 stars Fun Scuba Read!, August 6, 2008
This review is from: Barracuda (Paperback)
I bought this book after reading the other reviews because it looked to have some realistic scuba action. Mr. Monahan did not disappoint me. Most of the dive info was right on. I could be real picky on a few things that only someone who has been involved in any type of tech diving would notice but I'll allow some literary license in the interest of a good story, which this definitely was. Some parts of the writing style and dialogue did show a little inexperience but I'm confident his next book will be a little smoother. All in all, worth buying and reading if you like a good mystery mixed in with your scuba diving adventure novel.

4.0 out of 5 stars One Mean Barracuda, October 13, 2008
By L.C. Evans "Author" (North Carolina, USA) - See all my reviews
  
This review is from: Barracuda (Paperback)
Main character Micko, an NYPD detective, goes on vacation. A monster barracuda that kills sharks for sport turns Micko's holiday into one wild adventure. It doesn't help that two sets of warring criminals are trying to kill each other as well as anyone who gets in their way. Fast-paced with lots of action and realistic diving scenes. This is a fun read.
