Author is a classmate of mine from CG Academy, a Doctor, and now a successful author. Great book, tightly written and moves quickly. I'm a fan now too.

Fast-paced, action packed, tropical thriller. These are the phrases that come to mind when I think about Robert Thorton's book, "Lethal Paradise". Thorton has written a reliable female character in Dr. Hope Allerd, who drives the story with her inquisitiveness, her passion, and her tenacity to do the right thing. I longed to see the story continue past the electronic draft and so I bought the e-book off Amazon so that I could enjoy it again, and again. Well done, Mr. Thorton.
