Nicor! by Peter Tremayne

Nicor! by Peter Tremayne was received directly from the publisher. I have never heard of this author though apparently he has many books to his credit. As such, I requested this book based upon the description alone. It should be noted this book is a reprint from the late 1980's. Nicor is a sea monster, you don't see too many sea monster books anymore. The book starts out slow telling about an oil rig off the coast of Venezuela. The reader must keep in mind this was the 80's and Venezuela was pre Chavez and not so bad. Also, along with the sea monster, the book has a murder mystery going on as well where you meet some of Caracas' finest people in blue. Overall the book was too slow for my liking, which is subjective, but if you read my reviews you know I like "action not words" in my reading material. If you like oil rig stories or sea monster stories, give this a read. 3 stars
