Publisher's summary

Every day is paradise on Bonaire—until something unexpected washes ashore.

On the laid-back island of Bonaire, every day is paradise until a seaweed-entangled human leg washes ashore. Combing the beach, retired cop Roscoe Conklin examines the scene and quickly determines that the leg belongs to the nephew of a close friend.

The island police launch an investigation, but with little evidence and no suspects, their progress comes to a frustrating halt. Then, thanks to a unique barter with the lead detective, Conklin finds himself in possession of the case file. He can now aggressively probe for his own answers.

Sifting through the scant clues, eager to bring the killer to justice, Conklin struggles to maintain forward momentum. He has all the pieces. He can feel it. But he’d better get them snapped together soon. Otherwise, the body count will continue to rise.

Fun read!

Having been to Bonaire and dives in her beautiful , blue, Caribbean waters, this story intrigued me.

It didn’t disappoint. The characters are solid. The dialogue is mostly believable. The story is well put together.

As the second book in the series, it’s every bit as much fun to listen to as the first.

Davin, please write another installation as soon as possible. Put me down for a pre-order. And, if you need some assistance with on site research, I’d be happy to help out. It would be fun to dive with Bella and R!

A Good Sturdy Mystery & Fun if you know Bonaire

Because I have been to Bonaire many times, I got a kick out of this thriller set on the island, although I was struck by how unrealistic a few things were. The hero is constantly finding parking in downtown Kralendijk. Ha! He stands in the shade at the Karpata dive site and is not eaten alive by mosquitoes. Ha! Ha! But these are mere quibbles. Mostly his two Bonaire novels are fun reads, with engaging characters and engrossing plots, though as with many other mystery protagonists, knowing his hero is pretty literally the kiss of death, or at least minor maiming. Great summer beach reads ... or listens, since it's an audio book. Well performed by the narrator. Two thumbs up. And that's all I've got, so ... there you go.

Mystery on Bonaire

I listened to this book because of the setting in Bonaire. I really enjoyed it and thought the narrator did a great job. Characters and story were both good, I liked hearing about the dive sites I’ve visited before. After finishing the book, it makes me want to go back and have a Bright. The characters in the book sure do drink a lot of beer lol! I am looking forward to listening to the author’s other book.
