Plum Island by Nelson DeMille

3.0

Many GR friends enjoyed this series and that's how I got into starting this book. I really like the main character, John Corey, a smartass and sorta cocky NYPD homicide detective. He might not be a guy I'd like to know or work with in real life, but he's a good book hero. He's a likable guy and the book is entertaining but too drawn out.

This is the first book in the series and Corey is recovering from a job-related injury at his uncle's summer home on Long Island when he's pulled into a double murder investigation. The murdered couple, biologists from Plum Island is someone Corey knew. I like that he's working with Suffolk County detective Beth. Their bantering added humor to the story. I very much enjoyed the characters that I'll be reading more of this series.
