*by C***E on Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2019*

Another great read by Lowe. Spoiler alert.This one starts with Joe Thaxton who makes his living with a fishing boat. He takes folks out in the ocean to fish. Right now Joe has his drone up and he's looking at the river. The river which has a huge glob of green coming his way. Pollution Joe thinks comes from the sugar cane fields. Joe is also a botanist and he thinks the Cane industry is destroying Florida. Right now Joe's wife and daughter come down to the dock to get Joe for lunch. Joe's daughter is affected by the pollution that's right at their dock. Joe decides he has to do something about it and that something is to run for State Senator.Johnny Nelson is a veteran who was deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan. He has a wife and child. Right now he has a cast net and is beside the river looking to catch fish. He cuts his leg on something but thinks nothing of it. This cut will kill him.Chester Miller is eighty-two years old and is an expert on orchids. He's also a botanist and has been growing orchids to return to the everglades in Florida. His grand daughter Callie is off for the Summer from college and spends as much time as she can with him.Sean O'Brien is on his was to Chester's to buy orchids for Wynona. Sean is 6'3" tall and weighs in at over two hundred pounds. He's also and ex Delta Force team leader and ex Miami-Dade homicide detective. When his wife Sherri died from cancer he quite his job and moved to a run down cabin on the River. He also has a boat, The Jupiter, tied up at Ponce Marina. Another boat, the Dragonfly, a sailing craft is one that was given to him. He and Wynona had a grand time sailing it so Sean has decided to keep it.Joe Thraxton has been doing well in the polls for his Senators position. He's also attracted the wrong kind of people. People who have tried to warn him off his anti Sugar industry express train. Joe got Sean's name from a friend and contacts him. He wants Sean to commit to a body guard assignment. That's something Sean will not do. He's not a body guard. He's a PI on occasion. He tells Joe what he can do but neither Joe nor his campaign can afford to hire guards. Sean will regret not taking the job.So begins one damned fine read.This one has Sean, Wynona, Dave, Nick, the tracker Billy, a surprise that Wynona has for Sean, the men who kill Joe and Chester, a cold blooded killer named Fazio, three dead police officers one of whom is an old buddy of Sean's, a wounded Wynona, a Sean on the vengeance trail, a Billy who finally shows up to help and Sean O'Brien doing what he does best, protect those he loves, take out the bad guys, survive and stay alive.Five Stars. Unlike the one star hit man who left a review, I live in Central Florida and there is a lot of truth in this story about the pollution of the State.

    Good plot, poor execution
  

*by C***B on Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2019*

I've read all of the Sean O'Brien books, and generally enjoyed them. This one had a fascinating plot, and good potential, but the execution leaves something to be desired.First, as a "Sean O'Brien" book, there's painfully little Sean in it until the very end. Earlier, he exists mostly to make excuses about why he can't help Joe Paxton, who's receiving death threats. Then he gets to dispense "advice" to 2 seasoned detectives who really don't need the trite words. It's not until a "personal connection" with Wynonna Osceola comes into play that he finally finds a reason to DO something. (Pretty sure that's the only reason the personal thing was written in to begin with...)As for the plot... good idea, but WAY too preachy! I don't think it's giving anything away to say that Paxton is passionate in his defense of the environment. I am too, so I have no problem with the sentiment. But this is billed as a mystery/thriller, not an environmental treatise. Speeches could have (should have) been condensed and summarized. The same holds true for the orchid sub-plot - I didn't buy this book to learn that much about plants! I found my eyes glazing over in many places, and I skimmed past large chunks of the speechifying.And then there's the writing. As in previous books, Mr. Lowe really needs to invest in a good proofreader. (A copy editor would be good too - see above about the overly verbose sections.) There were way too many typos, wrong words, and missed words in this story. I understand that self-publishing doesn't come with all of the perks of a large publishing house, but certain standards should still be met. So many glaring mistakes jumped out at me that it really pulled me out of the story - and who knows how many more examples there might have been in the overly verbose sections I skimmed over. (Mr. Lowe can feel free to contact me about proofreading future Sean O'Brien stories!)And I do hope that there are more O'Brien stories - I just want them to be the mystery/thriller stories of past novels.

If I wanted to read an enviornamental rant against the sugar industry I can do it many places for free.  I have enjoyed the other Sean O'brian books and looked forward to this one but I quit it one third of the way through.  There is very little plot.  Just constant repetition of how the sugar industry is poisoning Florida's waterways.  Ok.  I got it in the first chapter.  Constantly going to it over and over and over is totally boring and tiresome.  I won't be buying any more of Mr. Lowe's books.
