A romantic suspense novel combining oceanography and an FBI agent... Who would've thought of it?

Riley knows that her grandfather, a famous oceanographer, did not cause the fatal accident that destroyed his vessel. However, when a corpse turns up near his home, he is suspected of worse -- he is suspected of murder.

Somehow, Riley persuades the reclusive John Straker to help her clear her grandfather. Or maybe he's simply coming along to keep her out of trouble...

This book shows what can happen when you combine a mystery with strong secondary characters. You get a much better mystery that way.

The hero and heroine started out on the wrong foot, and it took them a while to catch up. Though there was lots of sexual tension, I missed the witty banter I was expecting from a Carla Neggers book.

I gave this book a B at All About Romance.
