WRECKED

JOE IDE

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


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 are all fragrant ingredients in Wrecked, the third entry into what should be a terrific series.
