Four-star review of Something Found: A Coin by
Troy Aaron Ratliff
I would have given this one five stars but it
ended at a critical point. As far as I can tell, the sequel hasn’t been
published yet. Also, a short way in, there’s a large section of info dump about
the protagonist’s backstory and what brought him to Key West. Todd Freeman is
an artist, dubbed the Selfless Scavenger because he returns many of the items his
metal detector uncovers on the Key West beaches to their rightful owners. One
day, he finds a strange penny in the sand and thus begins an even stranger
journey which really starts late in the story and, presumably, will be
continued in the other two books of the series. This was an enjoyable and quick
book to read, leaving me wanting more. The writing put me right there with Todd
on his drive to Miami, fraught with more adventure than he bargained for.
