Another fun book by Arleigh Kidd. The book picks up where Southern Most leaves off. The characters are funny and the descriptions of southern Florida are so vivid I feel like I have been there! I highly recommend this book to anybody. Fantastic Read!, March 30, 2009 Joia Jones
Mr. Kidd is an excellent first-time author in this book that keeps you captivated page by page! His obvious love for the key locations in the book (Mexico, Vegas and Key West) are expressed in all of the details...from the fine dining establishments only "locals" would know about in Key West to the imagery apparent in the entire book...the story is intriguing and captures you as a reader, and the fantastic details only make the story more real. The characters are wonderful, the love stories are a treat to read...so much about this book is wonderful...buy it today!

I just finished your book and totally enjoyed it. I was a bit hesitant, wasn't sure I would like it but, I was pleasantly surprised. I liked how everything was tied up in the end. I read mostly Robert B. Parker, Stephen Cannell and James Patterson, I would read another from this author.

I loved this book! It is very fast-paced and gets moving right from the beginning. The author does a great job of blending humor, action, and drama. The characters are very interesting and seem like people I know. Well worth reading.

I just finished reading Southernmost Point and I could not put it down once I started! The action is non-stop and the mystery was woven throughout! I hope this author writes another book soon because I would absolutely read it. Well written and the story was great!

I just purchased Southermost Point and couldn't put it down once I started reading. I finished the book in about a day and a half. It is a great read! For a first novel, Mr. Kidd is an exceptional writer. The book is fun, fast paced, and shows a great level of detail about Key West. Anyone who has visited there will immediately recognize the locales the author mentions. Arleigh Kidd completely captures the laid back Key West lifestyle while weaving an exciting tale of mystery and new found love.
I've read all three of the Simonton & Yamada adventures. Being 3rd generation Japanese-American, I can identify with Jimmy although I'm a bit taller. Your descriptions of Duval Street, Mallory Square and the many eateries makes me want to go back for another visit. Thank you for allowing me to escape for a few minutes every day!
I really enjoyed all three books from Mr. Kidd. They were very exciting and kept you not wanting to put the book down. Very fast reading and looking forward to another book from Mr. Kidd.
Needless to say, I highly recommend you read this book. I hope Kidd writes a sequel soon!
