Onderdeel van de reeks(en)Cat Island (1)
Hayden Tate suddenly found herself in a world unlike any other, when she inherited half of an inn nestled away on Cat Island in the Bahamas. Expecting something like the resorts found in Nassau, Hayden was shocked and a little disappointed to find herself on a beautiful tropical island undiscovered by tourism. Hayden reluctantly begins to adapt to a simpler way of life found on the island, and her conversion is often comical. Not only did Hayden's aunt leave her an inn, but the company of her former business partner as well. Strange as she is beautiful, Adrienne turns Hayden's world upside down in many ways. Hayden quickly learns that being with Adrienne will always be an adventure. The tranquility of the island is shattered with the disappearance of a mysterious guest. Hayden and Adrienne soon find themselves at the center of a murder investigation, fearing for their own safety and the lives of their guests. Eager to rid themselves and the island of a ruthless killer, Adrienne and Hayden decide to conduct their own investigation. The eclectic mixture of guests and staff make their efforts both interesting and humorous. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

The only reason this book didn't [eta: initially] get a 1 star rating was the bits of humor scattered here or there that actually got me to laugh. From beginning to end this book frustrated me. Literally, if this hadn't been an Alexander book I wouldn't have been able to make it past that mess that was the opening of this book. Granted there was a patch there immediately thereafter that was fun and amusing but . . . gah. This book.
The women in this book acted like they were college freshman at spring break trying their damndest to get onto 'Girls Gone Wild'. Gah. The first batch of visitors literally sexually harassed the inn owners, Adrienne and Hayden. They both liked and disliked it, but they didn't want to piss off their guests so . . . gah. Second batch of visitors turned this into a weird stupid crime caper.
Despite what I said earlier, I'm seriously considering dropping this back to say, 1.5, just so I can click on 1 star on GoodReads. Have 0.5 for humor.
And to think this, and the two sequels I already own, are the last books currently in print by Alexander that I haven't yet read. I think I'm going to go be ill. There are actually 4 books, now that I look into it, that I haven't read by Alexander. Two I don't own, then the two sequels to this book, that I already own.
ETA: Noticing that I have already rated one of Alexander's other books 2 stars, gazing upon it, gazing upon this book, thinking about it hard, I will in fact lower this book to 1.55.
Rating: 1.66 1.55
