"Tres attracts trouble no matter what he does. This book is a good example...though admittedly Garrett isn't helping much. A classic closed-door murder mystery. Someone is murdered, and there is no way for anyone to leave the island; the killer is among us; etc. Despite the it's-been-done factor, I really enjoyed it. This is one of the few Riordan mysteries I've solved before the end, but even so he managed to trip me up. The truth is always more complicated."

" Don't know what made me try again, but I'm glad I did. This one was sooo much better than the first one. Minimal cussing and no sex - great book! "
— Lena, 2/19/2014" So different from his other books. I wasn't impressed. "
— Mindy, 2/16/2014" The Tres Navarre series has one of the most disappointing drop-offs in quality over the past few entries, and this one continues the trend. It's like Riordan's heart isn't in it anymore. "
— Craig, 1/31/2014" Probably shouldn't have jumped into a series at book 7. I was hoping for a little more from Riordan, but got typical beach read fare. "
— Chrissie, 1/10/2014" i can't believe i read the whole thing!! a hurricane, old hotel, isolated island, no way off and guess what? murder!!! awful story, can't think of one redeeming thing. "
— Cathy, 1/7/2014" I picked this up because I enjoyed the Percy Jackson series by the same author. This book was written as general fiction and it was okay but not great. As often happened in the Percy Jackson books, the characters would be about to discover the answer to the burning questions and then would get distracted and forget to keep searching. Not incredibly engaging and a bit disappointing. "
— Katie, 1/6/2014" I like mysteries, and this one had me second guessing myself, which I like. It had too much language in it though for me to give it a higher rating. "
— Niki, 1/5/2014" Okay so I read this book first (I missed the first 6), it was good enough to read as a self-standing book. I was not confused by it-there was no need to know what happened before. The pacing is good and the plot moved along well. He keeps you guessing. It's a fun one to read. "
— Liza, 1/1/2014" Pretty good mystery. Kind of far fetched at times. But enjoyed the Sherlock Holmes style of Tres Navarre. "
— Kim, 12/31/2013" Currently listening to while driving around town! Not bad. "
— Jamilah, 12/18/2013" Pedestrian entry in the Tres Navarre series with the detective/english professor, the suspects and victims all trapped on an island in the midst of a hurricane. Seemed like the author couldn't wait to get back to Percy Jackson. "
