WRECKED

JOE IDE

I review a lot of mysteries and thrillers. Many are mediocre and only a few standout, especially from first time writers. Joe Ide has written excellent mysteries, IQ and Righteous. Both are captivating. Wrecked is the third of the IQ series. Isaiah Quintabe, IQ for short is a Long Beach, California based P.I. He earned his rep by solving cases both small and big.

In Wrecked, Isaiah is asked to find a missing person, the mother of his putative girlfriend. The action starts from page one, and never stops until the novel concludes. I will not reveal much of the plot. Only those humans are capable of horrendous behavior, especially during war. Pictures, videos, and blackmail, all fragrant ingredients in Wrecked, the third entry into what should be a terrific series.
