Before Christmas I started reading Taffy's book " Keys to Death". I've just finished it tonight. Although set at Christmas time in the Florida Keys, I highly recommend you buy and read it in this post - Christmas season or anytime during the New Year.
It's not a traditional, "chestnuts roating on an open fire" holiday tale. I found it interesting, intriguing, entertaining and chuck- full of details I never knew about Hemingway, pirates, Mexican drug-smuggling as well as colorful descriptions of the flora and fauna in the Tropics and Key West, an area of America that is not familiar to me, given I have never been there.
The trama seemed more twisted and complicated than other Taffy Cannon novels I've read like "Fall into Death", " Blood Matters" or " Beat, Slay' Love" , all of which I have read and thoroughly enjoyed.
Congratulations, Taffy. Reading the Epilogue, I learned that you also wrote an Academy Award-nominated short film, Doubletalk. I'm going to look for it on you-tube or some other media and hope I can watch it sometime.
I wish everyone 365 days of Happy Reading in 2025. Happy New Year to all.
Marie
