Inspired by Turn The Page's post about a subsequent book in the series – The Maze – I ordered the first book in the series – Plum Island. And it was a blast.
Some warnings though – this book is a wee bit dated technology wise and also non pc. The main character (John Corey – a NYPD detective on leave) is quite unreconstructed. As an example of both of these points – here is a joke from the book:
What's the difference between a woman and a computer?
A computer will accept a three and a half inch floppy
But the book itself is a real page turner. It is set on Long Island.
Demille is from Long Island. I don't know if you read THE GOLD COAST - it was my favorite of all the John Corey books.
ReplyDeleteI lived in Sag Harbor and Plum Island wasn't far from us. I had friends and relatives who worked there.
Hope you an your family have a wonderful holiday

Ha! Those books did have some outdated jokes and the tehcnology was also dated. I liked Plum Island and happy you did as well :-)
