It reminded me of an Elmore Leonard book where there is no real protagonist. We know the thoughts and feelings of all the characters but none of them are very likable. In the story, Leonard and his family take one last adventure on their yacht, Athena's Secret, before the family their loses their entire fortune to poor investments. They run across a storm and then a boat called the Witch's Grass on which two men have been shot and killed. They find a bunch of money and their own greed makes them want to keep it even though they know it probably was earned through criminal pursuits. More than half the book is spent getting to know all the characters, even the criminals. Then there is a storm that injures Leonard, followed by finding the other boat. Not a book I would recommend for young people or anyone else. ( ) ( ) I didn't like this book at all. It reminded me of an Elmore Leonard book where there is no real protagonist.
