Well crafted and clever

Fast paced heist style story with solid characters and great narrative. Tim paints a great picture of the area between Flagler Beach and St. Augustine.

Kudos for his use of Ron Desantis as the main villain, with his henchmen Mitch and Donny. 😀

Loved it! The writing allowed my mind to create visuals and I love that! One particularly vivid one of DeSantis was scary! (I won't cause a spoiler of that scene with a description) suffice to say, he got what he deserved. :-0 Looking forward to another sleepless night with another of this Author's offerings! :-))
