Choices: A Florida Action Adventure Novel by Scott W. Cook
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

A new series is here that follows Scott Jarvis, a private Investigator that works out of Orlando, Florida. This being the first book, we get insight into how Scott got into the Private Investigator work as he started out as a Detective. In the middle of a case, just as he gets some good intel and is closing in on the suspects in a missing persons case, Scott is ordered off the case, so he sets out on his own to finish the job. This decision will have deadly consequences as Scott is pulled into a dark web of Mafia operations and then the FBI steps in.
The premise was interesting enough, I am not sure that the writing was good enough to carry the story. The protagonist was very caustic towards everyone else, a veritable “know-it-all” and that even applied to situations where he did not have experience. His ability to survive a firefight intact was stretching credibility as well as his handling of certain situations. The book was full of action and some suspense, so if you can overlook the character flaws than you might still enjoy the book.
