Synopsis

In the badlands of southern Baja, retired expatriate billionaire Atticus Fish finds himself sabotaging illegal commercial longliners from his one-man submarine, and schooling boneheaded tourists in civility. But when archaeologist Duncan Rigby gets kidnapped while on the trail of the legendary Jesuit Treasure, intrepid PI Toozie McGill enlists Atticus to fire up his seaplane and fly off in pursuit. Finding the archaeologist is one thing; recovering the stolen jewels is something else altogether. Now that word of the Treasure is out, will Atticus and his sideckick, mescal bootlegger Skegs, stand a chance against the deadly wave of treasure hunters who wash up on Baja’s shores?A delightfully offbeat mystery adventure brimming with colorful characters and local atmosphere, El Dorado Blues will charm readers in the best-selling tradition of Carl Hiaasen, Elmore Leonard, and Jimmy Buffett.

Strap on the life vest because we're going fishing! Morey puts the spin in detective mystery with colorful characters, fast-paced action, strange banter and a dollop of humor.

Entertaining read I guess - I'd enjoyed Wahoo Rhapsody: An Atticus Fish Novel. More madcap mayhem in this with Atticus Fish and a large amount of treasure.

Goodreads review by Kelly on March 17, 2013

This book follows Wahoo Rhapsody in the Atticus Finch series. Atticus, not his real name, has exiled himself in Baja California after basically suing God and winning, which made him unpopular to a lot of people. The books are a great escape to Baja. The characters are colorful and the adventures fun......more

Goodreads review by lynda on September 14, 2017

This is a fun read, no doubt. As with the first one, reminiscent of Hiassen. A tad concerning was that is was almost a boilerplate of the first Atticus Fish novel with different eccentric characters. This did not keep me from ordering the third one, because, like I said, it was a fun read. I'll be d......more

Good follow on to Wahoo Rhapsody. Lots of entertaining characters and wacky scenarios. Don't put it down for any long spells - you may start to lose track of who's on who's side!......more


Quotes

“Shaun Morey’s first Atticus Fish novel, Wahoo Rhapsody, was a rockin’ good read, and he has served up El Dorado Blues that will knock your sandals off. Author Shaun Morey is Baja California’s Clive Cussler, but better, as he creates unique characters, gets you hooked in the first couple of pages…” —Martina Dobesh, The Baja Sun
