A Ghastly Shade of Green by M.D. Spenser

3.5

The setting here was fantastic, we're deep in the Everglades and you get a very humid, secluded feeling throughout. There's one shocking scene and it builds to a tense climax. There's also clearly a message in here about what we're doing to the environment and about accountability which was a nice touch. I enjoyed this but felt it was missing something to push it over the edge. Bizarrely the author kept sneaking in pre 1960 movie references which I can only imagine was to entertain themselves. 'Wizard Of Oz' gets three references and 'Cat On A Hot Tin Roof' and 'Some Like It Hot' also get dropped in, in a sneaky, fun way.
