Green Flash

by L.M. Lawson

Under a full moon and miles from shore, Neal Fox slumps in a dripping wetsuit sipping an orange soda. He can't explain it, but he would rather not get involved. His eyes slide to the tangle of branches he moments ago secured to the boat. Next to him in Dana's cockpit, Jessie, his wife and shipmate, share in the struggle of what to do next. When conditions are calm, they often enjoy a game of Name That Flotsam but no contest has ever come up with something like this. Tangled in the branches float the unidentifiable remains of a person. And sitting between Neal and his loving companion is a video camera attached by velcro to what is left of the body. Jessie and Neal Fox survive ambush and sabotage while delivering to authorities a video camera they salvage off the Mexican Riviera. Could these attacks mean the tape holds proof that a fatal accident at sea was really murder?

I started this book a while ago and drifted away from it due to the slow-paced storytelling and graphic sailing details. I tried to get back into it and couldn’t do it — it just wasn’t the book for me.

Story of a couple on a sailboat who find a body floating in the ocean. A camera is attached to the body...what is on it? Set on the Pacific side of Mexico, they travel through the mountains to Mexico City to deliver the camera to the police. So many details and subplots in this book!! The author gets carried away. I liked the overall concept of the book, but was turned off by some of the writing. A green flash has nothing to do with the plot of this book!
Published in 2003, the font is an 8 or 9!!! A rewrite/edit is called for and then print in a larger font!
Yikes!
