Query: Not as good as "Twelve Days of Terror"

"Close to Shore" was disappointing to me. The author seemed to have only 1/3 the material needed to fill a book of that length. The first 80 or so pages go by with no shark encounters, and long digressions into local family history. While entertaining at times, the story was very rambling with frequent side tracks. "Twelve Days of Terror" was much more to the point and informative.
