One of those roller coaster rides, in a couple of ways.
Firstly there is much drama with Hash and Kerry and their relationship over the years.
There are emotional highs and lows.
Then there is my up and down feelings about the characters - Kerry in particular is a mystery and I still feel I don’t know fully what he was about - we got a reason but....
There is quite a lot of action from shark diving to ocean yachting to Thai islands to tsunami to the Cape again.
I did think there was a lot of juvenile storming off by both men as well as the woe is me. The exception I thought was Kerry in
It is mostly in Hash’s first person pov so that may have accounted for my disquiet with Kerry and it is often not a favourite pov but in this case, the story moved along at a quick pace and I was certainly pulled into the emotions.

the tsunami aftermath - I thought his actions in staying were true to characterIt is mostly in Hash’s first person pov so that may have accounted for my disquiet with Kerry and it is often not a favourite pov but in this case, the story moved along at a quick pace and I was certainly pulled into the emotions.

One of the saddest words in the English language may be “if” because it’s two little letters that when put together with the right words before or after can only mean regret. It’s only with the gift of hindsight we are given the opportunity to see how unattainable the past is and how difficult, if not impossible, it is to undo all the harm that’s already been done. The past is as impossible to control and redirect as the forces of nature, and no one knows this better than Erik Hash and Kiernan Callaghan.
