Terminal Surf is the 12th mystery thriller featuring PI/fixer Lewis Cole written by Brendan DuBois. This reformat and re-release from Severn House is not currently available for retail sale, but might be available through library collections/Hoopla digital. It's worth noting that the ebook format provided for review has a has a handy interactive table of contents as well as interactive links throughout.
This is a very
well written, tensely atmospheric and very much action driven mystery
thriller in a continuing series. So much of it is sad and traumatic (human trafficking and migrant death) and ripped directly out of the current day's headlines (as is the entire series).
The plotting is tight and the mystery works well. There is a fair bit of continuity in the history from the earlier books as well as returning characters, so readers who are unfamiliar with the interrelationships and haven't read the earlier volumes might struggle a bit to keep them straight, otherwise it's self contained and works fine as a standalone.
Four and a half stars, a strong series and a good read. It would make a good choice for a long binge/buddy read. This entry is a definite high point for the continuing series thus far.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
