### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Good Story Marred by Childish Character
  

*by J***N on Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2017*

Not nearly as good as the reviews would lead you to believe -- unless you really enjoy silly juvenile behavior.  As usual, DeMille puts together a good story and he knows how to write -- but he absolutely ruins the book with the obnoxious character of John Corey.  I've read a number of DeMille's more recent books and expected (and received) Corey's typical excessive smartass comments -- well, I knew what I was getting into, so that's not even a critique.  This one, however, goes even farther over the top.  There was a heavy emphasis on Corey's sex drive (Neanderthal competition for women that I've never witnessed by any man anywhere in my entire life), to the point I was just disgusted with it, and his behavior (e.g., deliberately vandalizing things with an axe because he was angry) would get him fired from any police agency anywhere.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Another winner from DeMille
  

*by J***Y on Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2017*

I love the John Corey books. this isn't the best of them but any John Corey is worth the read. And this has an interesting mystery at the center of it. When two scientists at a highly restricted germ warfare lab on Plumb Island are killed, John Corey is the only person who doesn't buy the theory that they were trying to sell their latest discovery to the highest bidder and that he should keep it hushed for the sake of national security. But, this turns out to be incorrect and the real reason is a straight up cop-shop mystery with the patented Corey humor pushing the story along. Like a lot of the Corey books, this isn't action packed, it's a deductive mystery with some memorable characters and that's fine with me.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Only okay.
  

*by T***Y on Reviewed in the United States on October 22, 2017*

This was my second Nelson DeMille book.  I previously read The Gold Coast, which I loved.  But Plum Island was only okay.I have two reservations about it.  First, this time out I didn't find the sarcastic, jokey narrative funny.  The Gold Coast's narrator-protagonist was also kind of like that, but it was more restrained and not distracting there (in fact, it was a pleasure in that book).  Here, it was over the top. I found John Corey to be obnoxious at times and simply not funny.  (Example: I didn't know that haughtily referring to yourself in the French -- "Moi" -- is a real hoot; must be because John Corey does it all the time).Second, it just wasn't that strong as mysteries go.  It unfolds in a very linear way, no twists or turns, really.  Corey uncovers clues and reaches big conclusions way too easily, and by about 55-60% into the book, you can pretty much see where it's going.I give it three stars because it has its occasional charms.  It wins a few points for a good setting which is easy to envision, and frankly a good hook that dominates the first 100 pages or so -- the story had a promising set up at the get go.  But it was only okay after that.  I don't expect to read any more John Corey novels, but I probably will try The Gold Coast's sequel, The Gate House.
