This author provides a look at Island life away from the tourist centers and adds an additional twist to the mystery. An enjoyable read.
I would have given it 4 stars if the author had provided a dictionary of pidgeon-English words. Trying to guess the meaning of the words in a sentence at times blocked the flow. ( )
