Among northern Florida's notable attractions are its underground rivers and caves. Known for his cave-diving expertise and his big ego, Big Jake Nunn never expected to die underwater, but neither had he anticipated someone deliberately cutting his guideline. Dr. Brad Pope is aware that a few people, including Jake's widow, are secretly thrilled that this guy was murdered. Trouble is, a killer is running around loose. Brad Pope may be a best-selling celebrity psychologist, but he's got plenty of his own issues to resolve, and that's why he's returned to his childhood home. Now he fears that his grandmother and her friends may have killed a man. Along with that problem, Brad is still searching for his estranged father, the man responsible for Brad's mother's early death.
VERDICT Robinson's debut amateur sleuth gets a thumbs-up for those who enjoy multigenerational tales with spunky oldsters. His light humor, genial banter, and colorful characters even out a slim mystery plot. Mouthwatering recipes included.
