Donald Hamilton
A prim young lady needs a favor: help her father beat a bum drug rap. But when Dad’s boat detonates outside Miami Harbor, Matt discovers that young Amy isn’t as innocent as she looks. Lured to the Bahamas, he will discover an unlikely pack of fanatics hatching an explosive plan, and that daddy’s little girl is surprisingly deadly.

Disappointed

Matt Helm spends much of this book not doing much to affect event, largely relying on known enemies to bring him where he wants to go. He also seems to be less competent and more gullible than has been typical in other books.
What should be the climax of the book ends up being a series of anticlimaxes.
And Helm seems to be curiously prudish, apparently only his quirks are acceptable.
Where there is action, though, it's written well. This was an entertaining read, but not a particularly memorable read.
Aside: Hamilton apparently spent quite a bit of time living on his boat, and his contempt for the US Coast Guard comes through clearly. This isn't entirely out of character, but I found it a bit distracting.
There are a few volumes left in the series, and I'll probably read them at some point, but that won't be a priority.
