Hell's Bay Audiobook

" James W. Hall come through again with a real page-turner. Thorn finds family (good news, bad news) and love again. Perfect for vacation! "

" Solid Florida Keys suspense read. "

" Action adventure. Starts out pretty slow but really picks up the pace. "

" Excellent suspense with Thorn and Sugarman in a race to avert a vendetta as they work in separate but converging spheres in south Florida. The corporate evil this time lies with the phospate mining barons, and the environmental impact of their industry is highlighted as a backdrop to this character-driven tale. Plenty of twists abound as characters show their true colors under duress, in this case the set of fishing trip guests aboard a houseboat which gets disabled and besieged in a remote part of the Everglades. Much about Thorn's family origins are revealed, which sadly comes with more negatives than positives. "

" Thorn is a Florida outdoorsman who does rough stuff on the side, but you root for him to come out on top. He's in the mold of Travis McGee, but Mr. Hall's prose is richer than JDM's. Enjoyable tale of a fishing vessel marooned in the Everglades with a maniacal lady killer stalking it. "

" Entertaining as usual with Thorn always having the right view point and getting the job done. "

" I liked the book but it took me along time to read. I'm not sure if that was because of the small print and my eyes or if the action just wasn't quick enough for me. Loved the setting, books written about places I lived (Keys in this case) always add to the story. "

" Wasn't one of my favorite "Thorn" novels. "

" Always love his Thorn character. "

" Thorn story takes place on a houseboat in the Everglades. I ended up reading this again in 2011. "

" Well, I do like James W Hall but I got about a third of the way thru and realized I had read it previously. Since the book was only published in 2008, it must not have made a tremendous impression. But I was going thru difficult times then so will give James the benefit of the doubt. "

" You learn who did it by Chapter Two... and can't wait to find out the whys and wherefores. Very well-written, with a taut plot and characters that hold your interest. There are enough twists and turns to make it even more riveting. I will read more of his books. "

" It was OK. I have read one other by this author, I think it was the one after this one, but I forget the title. It was OK also, but I'm not rushing to read more by this author. "

" I discovered James W. Hall years ago. Like Carl Hiassen, his thrillers take place in Florida and often have ecology as a theme. He has a very appealing main character, Thorn, a somewhat reclusive fly tieing macho guy. I think Hall is terrific. "

" About a 3.5. We need a 10 point system instead of just the five! "

" Fast moving thriller with an environmental expose. One thing that would be great would be a sense of humor, which Hall does not seem to represent in his books. "

" Always fun to read a good suspenseful book... good story. "
