This was the audiobook version. I reserved this a long time ago and forgot, so it was a surprise when I got the email saying it was ready. Even worse, I had decided to read the book version when I saw the wait time. It's an interesting story, treasure, rich guy vs the natives, damsel sort of in distress. I have to say I enjoyed reading it more than listening, not so sure I would have picked this narrator, his voice interpretation was off.
kbrower's review against another edition
medium-paced
- Strong character development? No
- Loveable characters? No
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? No
This book is all over the place, the pacing is horrible, the plot doesn’t really make sense, and the authors treatment of women is a bit sexist. Do not waste your time

This was the June pick for the Mystery Lover's Book Club, but I could not get into the audiobook at all. The plot felt scattered, none of the characters were likeable, and (most egregiously) I didn't like the narrator's voice. DNF

Not sure why I just didn't enjoy the book as much as previous books in this series. Seemed a little disjointed.

Clive Nickelby and his former graduate student, Lydia, have disappeared somewhere in the Caribbean, along with Carl Fitzpatrick's log book that may, or may not, be the key to $4million in gold ingots, mined in Ecuador and sent to Spain, only to be lost in a ship wreck. Marion Ford, marine biologist and secret agent man, is looking for them, along with his friend, Tomlinson. There are also some very bad men looking for them as well. Murder and mayhem ensue, along with some interesting information on indigenous people that have lived in the Caribbean for centuries. Doc Ford and Tomlinson always win, but along the way, the reader can learn new things.
