Jesse McDermitt Caribbean Adventure #2
Fallen Palm
Jesse McDermitt lives alone on an isolated island in the Florida Keys where he runs a charter fishing business. Retired from the Marine Corps for six years, he wants nothing more than to relax, fish, dive and enjoy the laid back lifestyle of the islands.Russ, his former Platoon Sergeant and old friend, dies unexpectedly in a mysterious scuba diving accident and Jesse becomes suspicious. When his friend's son comes to south Florida to ask Jesse if he would take him to a remote reef to spread his father's ashes, the two men discover that Russ was murdered and agree to hunt down the psychotic killer together, unaware that their manhunt will lead them to a Caribbean terrorist cell.Meanwhile, a beautiful woman has returned to the Keys on a manhunt of her own, distracting Jesse with the idea that he could finally leave his warrior past behind. The prospect of finding lost Confederate gold, several high speed boat chases, and dodging demented killers, won't stop Jesse from revenge. Surviving a powerful hurricane puts everything on hold as a top secret government agency tries to recruit him into their fold.When the sun comes back out, will Jesse be ready?

After his friend dies in a mysterious scuba diving accident, Jesse is sucked into a murder mystery and a treasure hunt. A hurricane is coming, and Jesse is courting a beautiful woman.
Something of a sophomore slump, IMHO.

Forty-four-year-old Jesse McDermitt, a retired marine gunny sergeant has moved to the Florida Keys to take it easy. He uses an inheritance and his nest egg to buy a fishing yacht and small island off the southern coast, in the Caribbean Sea. His attempts at the lay-back, simple life seems to elude him. Gaspar’s Revenge, Jesse’s fishing boat, is hired out a couple of time a week for fishing charters for sports fishermen and vacationing Yankees.
When an old friend, Russell Livingston dies under suspicious circumstances, Jesse embarks on an investigative adventure. The introduction of Pescador, a well-trained stray Portuguese water dog and a vanilla romance with Alex DuBois, keeps the story moving along.
Ian Fleming was a master in name dropping. That is to say, a wristwatch was not just a watch but was a Rolex, Elgin, or Timex; depending on the individual wearing it. This adds something special to a story. Wayne Stinnett tends to extremes. His explanations are a little overdone and the technical jargon goes on and on until the reader is gasping for air and wondering if some kind of quiz will be given at the end of the story. This tendency to over expand on facts and figures detracts from the story in my opinion. If, however, you are looking for a HOW DO YOU DO IT book (like how do you field strip and reassemble any firearm, how to navigate the Florida Keys, how to fly fish, how to plan a stakeout, or properly sight a sniper rifle), you may appreciate this book. The book, as a whole, with its over-explanations, reeks of condescension.

I quite enjoyed most of this book although I’m not sure about the way the story jumped in time and location so much. There were also a couple of inconsistencies in the story, but I don’t mind this if the story is enjoyable. The first half of the story developed slowly and I was looking forward to how it was going to end.
The author obviously wanted a dramatic ending so made things go wrong for Jessie just over three quarters of the way through the book. I have no issue with this turn in the plot, but with how this was done. Suddenly a group of ex-servicemen, including a top recon/sniper marine and a group of ex Navy SEALs, become incompetent. First by not being suspicious of a known murderer and then even worse not keeping watch on a known group of criminals who have connections with terrorists. I really don’t mind things going wrong but it has to be believable, this spoilt what was a good story up to this point. The final nail in the coffin was the ending, which I hated.

I got this as part of the Adventure bundle #1.
This is the second book in the bundle. This book went fairly well. I've never read any of this author's work, other than the prebook, and the idea sounded great. It reminded me of C.G. Cooper's books.
As I was trying to attach myself to the main character, what ruined it for me was the long and lengthy descriptions of surroundings which I intended to get lost in and the later skipped through as I felt like I was the one being kidnapped.
Great action scenes, characters had depth, plot was pretty good, especially with some of the surprises the author threw in from time to time. However, the author really needs a chill pill for all the long and lengthy descriptions of boats, waterways, boat engines, islands, etc.
Before I finish with the last book, I need to take a break, so it might help with my acceptance of the book and hopefully will like it better than the other 2 I've read so far.

Amazing detail and knowledge of boats, military, and the Key West topography, woven expertly into the tale.
Edge of your seat adventure that doesn't shy away from harsh realities. Adventure usually equals danger, and this book hits the danger head on and with no apologies.
A wonderful and intriguing read! I would recommend this book to any who like their adventure to shoot from the hip, sometimes literally. Refreshing that the characters must accept harsh consequences for their actions. Marvelous!h

Like author’s opening references to earlier (1985) novels. Ending was a crash landing. Added to the pathos. No profanity, some sexual situations. Start is similar to book 1 but then plot veers dramatically. As usual, the narrator is excellent.

I liked the first book in this series enough that I wanted to read more of them.
This second book, however, disappointed me. It wasn’t a bad story or a poorly written one. Far from it. It was an engaging complex tale that held my interest. What ruined it for me was the direction Stinnett took the story. He gave the plot two twists I’ve seen used so often in books and TV they’re almost a cliché. And I knew exactly what the second one would be the moment I read the first.
That second twist will allow him to send Jesse on to bigger, broader, bolder adventures. I always wonder why so many authors feel the need to push their characters into stories with national or global implications. Can’t you come up with storylines where the MC keeps his own little corner of the world safe? Other authors have done for twenty or thirty books. Why can’t you?
I would have rated this story 4 stars without the plot twist. But those twists annoyed me so much; they cost the book 2 stars.
I’m going to think long and hard about continuing with this series. Right now the odds are highly stacked toward not reading any more.

Bad ending
I was really enjoying this series until the ending of this book. I will not be reading any more of the series.

Too bad the author chose the low road for this one. Despite the clumsy
plotting it might have turned into a good series, but not for me...

Great Florida Keys Story!
Jesse McDermitt is an intriguing character whose Marine training enables him to protect and defend. He knows boats and the Florida Keys so well that when he has to he can take his boat and fly across the water. I felt like I was there! In Fallen Palm, Jesse falls deeply in love. Meanwhile his best friend dies suspiciously while diving and Jesse is pulled into something a whole lot bigger than trapping a killer. Highly recommended to lovers of the Florida Keys, the Marines, boats, and rescue stories.

Well, phooey, there seems to be several phases to this book, the first probably the most interesting for me, though one of my problems was the skip back and forth of the timeline. I enjoyed reading about the Keys and boats. I can understand that if the protagonist, Jesse McDermitt, is six years from the Marines he'd enjoy an isolated island and his charter fishing service and still spout military-lingo (we still spout some ourselves and we've been home since 1970). I can even understand why he'd want to investigate the death of an old and very close buddy. Where the plot begins to get muddled is with the return of his long, lost love (gimme a break). Then comes the plot fillers, a hurricane, a dog more human than canine, and the bad (treasure-hunting) guy--who appears to be connected to more guys who are connected to the worst--a whole host of really awful maggots. The story line lulled several times and just when you think you've seen the culmination approaching, events turn south. Why, oh WHY did the book end that way?? Way too brutal, though yes, we are talking bad guys, but did we have to read in graphic detail just how? And to think our protagonist, sharp ex-Marine that he was, could get so sloppy? Or that any kind of federal agency would put him, however minimally, on their payroll? I think not. You might enjoy the book; the climax spoiled it for me. Fallen Palm

This would have been a four star book had it not been for the end game being too predictable. Still, it was an entertaining read and I will read the second book of the series.
Smoothly written, and as it's the first of a series, the author takes his time in developing the main character, Jesse McDermitt. A lot of the book involves boating around the small islands that make up the Florida Keys. Some action junkie readers might find this boring, but I enjoyed it, having spent some time down in the Keys 20 or so years ago.
The main character strikes me as a composite of Randy Wayne White's Doc Ford, James W. Hall's Thorne, and just a little bit of John D. McDonald's Travis McGee. On the first page of the book is a quote attributed to the McGee character.

A friend recommended this series to me and glad he did. As I started reading Fallen Palm, the characters were very similar to the Doc Ford books by Randy Wayne White, and I was thinking that these were going to be rip offs. Glad I kept reading!
Really enjoyed the all the characters and the attention to minor details that Mr. Stinnett has added. I won't go into details of the story since they have been written about by previous readers.
I highly recommend this book to those who enjoy a good adventure story. Couldn't put it down and actually read it in about 4 hours.
I'm already 1/3 of the way through the next Jesse adventure!
Well done Mr. Stinnett.

This was a much more action oriented book. Jesse was recruited by a special branch of Homeland Security, and was immediately in the thick of an operation. The Florida Keyes is a prime area for smuggling everything from drugs to foreign operatives. Jesse's familiarity with the area and his Marine Corp Seal training make him a natural. His wife of only a few hours was kidnapped, raped, brutally beaten and subsequently died in this episode. The book had a pretty dark ending. But, I enjoyed this one well enough to buy the next book.

My husband read this book, and the review is from him:
I decided to read this book after my wife drew it to my attention. Once started, I could not put it down, and the story was not only exciting but kept me guessing. I had no idea what the outcome would be and the ending was a complete surprise to me. I would really recommend this book. So much so that I immediately downloaded the writer's next book Fallen Hunter. I cannot wait for the next offering from Mr. Stinnett.

How can a good plan go so wrong? I gave the first book in this series 5 stars and couldn't wait to continue the series, but quickly saw this book did not have the same appeal. The only thing I looked forward to, was the end. I felt like I was watching a bad movie on TV. Laughable characters and dialogue.

Fast paced drama with lots of depth to the plot.
This was a difficult story to put down. The plot had twists and turns I never saw coming. Lots of good details to make you feel you were actually along for the ride. Refreshing in its lack of expletives.

"Fallen Palm" reminded me of the Travis McGee books but the hero, Jesse McDermitt, stands on his own.
It has a habit of telling you more than you want to know about things which probably won't interest you - fly-fishing, navigating the Florida Keys, etc.
The author, Wayne Stinnett, is a good storyteller but probably needed to put a bit more thought into the plot, particularly during the finale when it all gets improbable.
In this type of book the main characters often seem invincible but that it definitely not the case here. Stinnett takes a pretty callous and brutal approach at the end - personally I think it wasn't the best choice.
Former Marine Corps Gunnery Sgt. Jesse McDermitt is making a new life for himself on the Florida Keys operating a charter boat. Things are looking up on the romantic front too with the return of a former possible romantic interest, Alex Dubois.
The son of a former comrade, Platoon Sgt. Russell Livinstone, charters Jesse to bring his father's cremated remains to be scattered at Conrad Reef. Russel apparently drowned in a boating accident, but there is more to it than that.
It's not so much a detective tale as a case of the story coming to Jesse and him reacting.
As a beach read "Fallen Palm" would be fine, but it doesn't really cut the mustard if you think about it very much.
2.5 Stars, raised to 3 Stars.

I'm a little upset with Mr Stinnett on this one... He writes very well and shows excellent knowledge of his subjects of South Florida, boating, and the Marine Corps and combat veterans. I couldn't put this book down and practically read it through in one setting, almost. But for all his talent, he just doesn't understand me! No empathy at all with this unknown indistinguishable reader! You see, he does such a good job with his characters that we suspend disbelief and adopt them as our own. Friends, comrades, enemies, etc. Then he goes and brutally abuses one of them, and then kills her. Sorry, Mr Stinnett, I can't abide anything but a good ending. The good guys, my heros, male and female alike, must be preserved to live happily ever after. I don't like trying to fall asleep grieving the loss of a fine young person. Okay, you know most of this is tongue in cheek, but I hope you will lighten up a little on the good guys! Of course, I'll keep on reading your work and I am grateful to you for having the courage to put labor to your gift.

too much of some things, not enough of others
The best of this book is the characters. Multi dimensional and well described.
Aside from that, the author goes between excruciatingly minute descriptions regarding details about the various boats, and omitting information that would clarify. I spent many years sailing, but very little time on motorboats. Details about engines were boring. Information about navigating the waters was sometimes adequate for understanding, but other times did not explain critical information. For example - what is a cut? I eventually figured it out, but would have liked to see it explained the first time it was used. Had I not been married to a Marine, I would have missed some of the nuances about their actions and relationships. Absolutely hated the ending.

This like the first book was a pretty good read. My review is not based on literature value to the world, I want entertainment and something that keeps me turning a page. So far after two books, this series has that, (Yes I started the third book right away). This book was great and edge of your seat reading. The only complaint was in this book the writer would go back in time, to cover what other people were doing. So you would get this loopback but it had already been covered. It made it fell like a waste of time when you were really wanting to move forward. I like a book that stands on characters and not on shock value or gratuitous extremes. Overall I would rate this book an excellent read if you're not looking for a Nobel prize in literature.

Who needs to retire? NOT Jesse McDermitt!
What a book! This used to be the first book in the series, but Stinnett has now written a prequel, kicking this one to #2. It's a really good introduction to Jesse McDermitt and his new 'retirement' life. About 2/3 of the book is devoted to character development (great!) and very technical boating stuff. I love sailing, anything with water and didn't mind learning new developments since my old Hobicat days in Hawai'i. The action, when it got to it, was pretty intense and well written. I think I'll be binging on the next few! Highly recommended!

Trite
The author is a capable writer but this follow up to a previous book in the now developing series contradicts several points in the previously published book, annoying but not a fatal flaw.
This book rapidly descends to the banal and worn formula that shows a lack of originality and boring character development.
After the first novel I had hopes that this author would develop into an solid and dependable one whose books showed some originality with creative spark.
Alas.

Like and Loss
I'm just into the second book in this series but liking what I'm reading - plenty of adventure, likeable characters, logical actions, great descriptions of the area, nasty villains and a hero we understand. Although we know he doesn't live in a perfect world and will probably get stabbed, shot and beaten up we read along hoping nothing too tragic will happen but some times bad stuff is the transition to the next book. Looking forward to next book.

Great Story
This fast-paced, exciting and easy to read story reminds those familiar with the Keys of the close relationships developed by those who actually live there and how easy it is for criminal activity to thrive there. The author brings his characters alive for the reader in easy to believe mannerisms and descriptions. Hard to put this one down, and its surprise ending will leave the reader with shocking feelings.

Fallen Palm: A Jesse McDermitt Novel (Caribbean Adventure Series Book 2)
Just as exciting as the first book, with some of the same characters, very descriptive scenery and a new mystery to solve. Makes the reader want to book a trip to the Florida Keys. Looking forward to the next book in the series. If you like action and adventure, you will love this series. Highly recommend!

Personal and official intertwine for the first time in this Caribbean Adventure
Just like the first book the details given as far as the landscape, boats, and equipment helps paint a picture that is easy for you to grasp. I felt the story was a little slow in the beginning and ramped up towards the end. The way the personal intertwined with the official mission came as a surprise, to bad it didn't turn out well for Jesse.
