Sun-kissed sands and sinister secrets. A honeymoon in paradise turns perilous in this riveting seaside mystery.
A tropical vacation transforms into a web of danger and deception when an author and his manuscript vanish. Is his thriller about money laundering in the Caribbean too close to the truth?
With the stakes high and time ticking, Private Investigator Liz Adams and her new husband, Brad, along with their truth-sniffing Labrador, Duke, partner with the local authorities to unravel a multitude of crimes. As they search for clues, the newlyweds explore the delights of the island, including a hunt for buried treasure.
Will they unearth the clues in time, or will the honeymoon end in heartbreak? Set against the backdrop of the stunning island of Grand Cayman, this cozy mystery will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.
The sand had settled from the storm, and the surface was crystal clear. Not a single cloud drifted overhead, and gulls soared in the sky before diving into the sea for a catch.
“OK,” I replied with more enthusiasm than I felt. We donned our snorkeling gear and slipped into the sea.
As we swam around the sunken ship, my mind started to whirl. Did Tim have a boat? Maybe when he got home, he’d ventured out to assess the storm’s damage and had encountered trouble. Those thoughts drifted away as a school of angelfish swam past an eel. A green sea turtle paddled past the hull of the sunken ship. Coral swayed in the current, and a lionfish’s mane of spines created brief marks along the sandy floor. Ziggy motioned that it was time to return to shore, and we followed him back on board.

What inspired the idea for the characters for this book?
ReplyDeletePrivate Investigator Liz Adam's sidekick, Duke, was inspired by our own Labrador retriever, Eve. Although she can't detect when people aren't telling the truth, she's a communicator. She howls the words 'I love you' for her breakfast in the morning. Some of my characters are inspired by real people who ask to be in the books. In Cayman Conundrum, Commissioner Aaron Holmes is loosely based on Aaron, a friend of ours, who also happens to be British. Most of my characters are a product of my imagination. I often get ideas while journaling in the mornings, and I keep a notebook for each story with character worksheets.
