Why read it?
1 author picked Tropical Freeze as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
While Hall captures the essence and laid-back flavor of the Florida Keys, which I know very well, you can feel for the main character, Thorn.
The reluctant antihero, if there ever was one, no matter how much he tries to stay clear of society and live in his self-insulated world, the world finds him and, more often than he would like, drags him into a moral or unethical situation, which causes him many a sleepless night, weighing right from wrong.
From Jorge's list on The best Florida-based crime books that reflect how criminals gravitate to this state.
