Joe goes island hopping on his chase of John Smith and ends up in Japan for the duration of the war. Definitely much too long for me. Back in Hawaii, and up until the dramatic showdown, I was hooked again. After the showdown, I was letdown again. So it was a book of ups and downs for me, the ups being pretty dang exciting to read, and the downs being much too long. If I were ever to re-read it, I'd only read the beginning and end. (  ) Stahl-Ricco | Apr 8, 2023 | A mystery wrapped in an outstanding story, wrapped in some of the best storytelling I have read in years. Read this book!
