I just finished this book tonight and am sitting here pondering what in the world possessed me to order it in the first place. I must have thought it would involve a good mystery or something. I sure didn't expect it to go that deep into orchids, the weirdness of those who worship them, the many illegal ways they're obtained, and talk of a swamp over and over..and over. The main character, John Laroche was boring at best. It's like he used the Indians to do his dirty work and then got off scott free. I sincerely hated this book. I kept reading hoping it would get better but it didn't. I was really disappointed with the ending...the ever elusive ghost orchid that the whole book talked about and never finished with. Just a terrible, terrible book.
