This was a fun quick read. A fictional Caribbean island with a crazy cast of misfits who are all hiding something and running from lovers or the authorities.
The only problem is you never really find out The Who what or why they are running.
The other problem is the main character Blake/Hugh does not act like any adult would behave and much of the story is as riveting as a Hardy Boys book.
I will read the second book in the series and see if the authors writing is less choppy and the characters are fleshed out better.… (meer)

Sadly, like the first book in this series, it was boring.
The characters are likable but they all seem wooden.
The muster again is on par with a Hardy Boys book.
I will not be reading others from this author.

It's written that Aristotle suggested that the real secret to humor is surprising.

I tend to agree with this and once in a while, I am drawn to a quirky mix of recklessness. Team this with a read that discusses an appreciation for an island adventure by way of tacked-up maps and nautical charts and you have The Secret of Rosalita Flats.

I received a copy of this book through the generosity of the author.

The Secret of Rosalita Flats by Tim W Jackson is a fun romp in the Caribbean, looking for lost treasure.

Cal makes me think of Rockford, from the Rockford Files, and Thomas, from Magnum P I, though he is no private investigator, just a watchmaker. When he inherits a football-shaped house on Blacktip Island, the mystery begins, on a tropical island filled with quirky characters.

Cal had no intention of staying on the island and there is more than one person interested in buying the house. But, as the mystery surrounding the house and the supposed treasure grows, it only creates a bigger mystery and he was drawn in. Whoever was driving him out, only made him more determined to stay…that and a long lost romantic interest.

Tim W Jackson writes some fun filled adventures with wonderfully odd characters and mysteries not easily solved. So, dive in, but be sure and watch out for the sharks.

I voluntarily reviewed a free copy of The Secret of Rosalita Flats by Tim W Jackson.
