Resumen del Editor

Going back home again isn’t just hard, it’s murder.

Emotionally adrift, lonely after his wife’s death, Boise Montague does the thing no one should ever do: he goes back home again.

Boise remembered the Caribbean home of his childhood—in St. Thomas, Virgin Islands—as a paradise. But when his best friend is murdered and the case quickly buried by local police, Boise realizes how far paradise has fallen.

With the aid of Dana Goode, a local reporter investigating the kidnapping of a real estate mogul’s daughter, Boise goes on the hunt for his friend’s killer. But he’ll find more than he bargained for—much more. Because in the once-sleepy island city of Charlotte Amalie, sun, sand, and surf have been replaced by madness, mayhem, and murder—and his friend’s death was just a warm-up.

Going home again can literally be murder—especially when your home has changed from Heaven on Earth…to a Dark Paradise.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Dark Paradise is the kind of island murder mystery that easily keeps the reader captivated, guessing, on their toes, and wanting more!" (Jersey Girl Sizzling Book Reviews)

Island thriller

A crime thriller and mystery-this was a debut novel by the author. The plot takes place on the island of St. Thomas. As the title implies, there can be a dark side of island life that many tourists think of as paradise. The main character, Boise Montague, returns to St. Thomas after a 20 year absence. A lot has changed while he was gone and his childhood friend, who he had hoped to see upon his return is dead. Montague then begins to investigate his friend's death and that leads to all sorts of encounters with shady characters and close calls. He nearly got killed himself.
I got a chance to learn a bit more about the culture and people of St. Thomas. I wanted to find out how all the characters were connected and most of it was explained by the end. But because it is apparently going to be a series, not all was revealed.
