One never knows where one’s enemies will
strike . . .
About the Book: When bookstore owner Suzanna Shay and
writer Austen Kincade meet on a Who Done It mystery cruise, their instant
attraction has them more interested in romance than searching for clues. But after Austen rejects advances from the
wife of his publisher, she vows to have him no matter what it takes. After the
ship docks, with plans for a future together, Suzanna and Austen part, unaware
vindictive lies will soon test their newfound love and entangle them in a real
mystery that proves deadly.
Our Review: it is rare when we find ourselves rooting
for someone, anyone, to step up to the plate and commit murder. In a
testament to author Debby Grahl’s talent for creating characters, man-eater Haley
Henderson deserves to die—in any way possible. As well, each character in this fun
romantic-mystery is well drawn and individualized in their layers—from the possessive,
needy mother to the loyal gal pal and, finally, to the long-suffering husband
of the dead woman. Grahl’s imagination seems to have no end when it comes to
motivation.
On a scale of 1-5, Island Heat merits a 5.
