Summary
In the aftermath of a hurricane, a series of strange events plague the coastal waters off Florida. People go into the water and never return. Corpses of killer whales drift ashore, ravaged from enormous bite marks. A fishing trawler is found adrift, with a mysterious gash in its hull.
Transferred to the coastal town of Merit, police officer Leonard Riker uncovers the horrible reality of an enormous thresher shark lurking off the coast. Forty feet in length, it has taken a territorial claim to the waters near the town harbor. Armed with three-inch teeth, a scythe-like caudal fin, and unmatched aggression, the beast seeks to kill anything sharing the waters.

Bloody Brilliant!
What a story! I was a little concerned in the first minute or 2 that it would be too vanilla. Just another giant animal story, and it is... but in a great way! The characters are deep and set up well, each with a rewarding back story. It has heroes, villains and anti-heros. There is a good twist and plenty of well paced action. I even got a shiver at one moment, no spoilers, but kids, boat, drone... chills!

Pretty good.
It sort of grows on the reader as it progresses. Not bad at all although it has many inaccuracies about boats and marine biology.

Not the usual monster stuff!
Surprisingly enjoyed the story and was gripped by it from the beginning. The narrator was brilliant. I definitely recommend a listen and I hope the author will do a sequel, if they haven’t already done so.

Not the usual killer great white shark!
I really enjoyed this book! Nicely narrated and kept me enthralled til the very end. Thought it might be just another Jaws tale, just with a thresher shark instead of a great white but whilst there were similarities, this story had me hooked right from the start, and I loved it!

The ending set up a second book really nice. Sad I could not find a second book.
As a Jaws enthusiast and lover of monster books and movies, I enjoyed this book. It is a bit silly but the story is amusing.

very exciting
character building was excellent and the story was non stop and riveting. Really well narrated. This would make a great film or series. Well done.

Gnash and thrash
Another water based creature feature from the prolific Mr Cole who is becoming a sort of modern day Guy N. Smith. Which is a high compliment. In this one an ill matched cliché odd couple police officers, with the expected melodramatic emotional baggage, are forced to join forces to battle a giant thresher shark who is gobbling it's way through anything it comes across. You've probably seen or read this story played out many many times before but it's a familiar story told well. The leads are likeable and have a good dynamic and there is some fun side characters. Cole's writing is competent and engaging. The pacing is good with little filler and the narrator does a good and convincing job with the different characters. Okay, so the book is obviously no masterpiece but it isn't trying to be. It's just a solid, fun, killer shark book with some great set pieces that sails smoothly from start to finish. It's screaming out to be turned into a big budget film and is far more satisfying than the recent Meg films. Shark fans check it out. Oh, and extra points for featuring a thresher shark and realising it's deadly (fantasy) potential rather than using yet another great white or meg.
