MWSA Review

Caribbean Cabal by Hugh Simpson is an action-packed, full-throated adventure story that is fast-paced and engaging. Since this is the second book in a series, it would have been helpful to have a quick summary of the story arc from the first Hap Stoner book at the beginning. If you hadn't read it, it was confusing as to how all the main characters got together and knew one another and the back story that they constantly refer to. Once you get beyond that, the story moves along well. The overall plot and the execution of the story line is a little unlikely in that all the cascading events in the story would emerge and pile on one another; but what the heck: it's fiction, and anything goes. It’s a good story to take to your den, curl up in your favorite chair, pour some Jameson over ice, and then engage in this boisterous and escapist adventure.
