Pretty well done. Good prose, good pacing. Plot maybe the over-complicated side of intricate, leading to some laborious exposition. Possibly a couple too many characters. The Caribbean-ness manages to feel both authentic and cliched at once. (

Set on the Caribbean island of Camoha, we follow detective Michael Digson as he tries to unravel multiple murders, including one perpetrated by his partner detective Miss Stanislaus against a backdrop of growing corruption ad international crime on the island.

My first impressions of this book were poor. I found the Caribbean patois difficult to follow and the island culture hard to reckon with. The plot drew me in and the rhythm of the language became more familiar. The characters, even the minor ones, are all so well drawn and the action so believable that eventually this book became unputdownable.

Highly recommended. (
