Bermuda is a great read for any mystery fan. Not only did I find myself caught up in the story line but also with the characters. The protagonist, Herman, is living a life of self-loathing and cynicism until he finds himself pulled into a conspiracy that appears to reawaken him. Definitely recommend and can't wait until the next book is out (I think April 2020?) to see what Herman is up to.

I wasn't aware of this author when this was recommended to me. Come to find out this is his first novel, so I guess that explains it. I'm often guilty of foregoing new authors (the shame, I know) but the description was interesting, so I gave it a shot. I'm glad I did.
Bermuda focuses on Herman, a journalist who once worked in DC but left when it broke his spirit. He receives a strange package that indicates a government contractor is planning to drug a water supply in Florida. The "drug" has a cumulative effect that can be used to manipulate citizens who have it in their system. I won't go further into that so as not to spoil anything.
The book opens with a chase. The target of this chase is George, a scientist who works for the company in question. This chase sequence hooked me quickly; it was visceral, effective, and did a solid job of establishing the character of George. The scientist escapes his pursuers, leading to the introduction of a character known only as the tall man. His introduction is simultaneously creepy, funny, and terrifying.
The story, while primarily following Herman and George, occasionally branches off to focus on others who are investigating the company. The company, in turn, has sent out groups to "control" these investigators.
I found the pace of the story to be good, moving between action and suspense. There is also a consistent presence of humor, mainly via Herman and his friend Ray. The humor isn't overwhelming in a way that detracts from the story, which is a plus for me. The characters are well-written and believable but, most importantly, I found them to be interesting.
I would recommend this book to fans of suspense, action, thrillers. It's different in a good way and I hope to find more from the author.
