Couldn’t put it down!
An excellent read and a real page turner. Following the main characters from her previous book, which was set in Australia, Jean Harrod has moved the action to the Turks and Caicos islands so a totally different setting and an original storyline. A thoroughly enjoyable book from a relatively new writer on the scene. Having worked for the diplomatic service around the world Jean is capable of producing a lot more gripping tales in interesting locations.
This was my introduction to this particular author, I was totally engaged from the first page. It had all the ingredients that I look for in a page turner, a great plot, intrigue, believable story, characters that I really take to & want to know more about, and a fascinating country to add knowledge.
I enjoyed every page of this book and look forward to every book Jean publishes.
A real page turner, read it at one sitting!
