Death on the Beach
New York transplant Plum Lockhart is beginning to get some traction for her new villa brokerage agency on the Caribbean Island of Paraiso. However, trouble comes knocking in the form of her former colleague Gerald who insists Plum go help out his boss’s daughter who is being held by the resort’s security. Plum regrets getting involved when Arielle is found murdered the next morning. Now Gerald is insisting that Plum help him solve the crime, and he’s shown up in person. Will Plum solve the case before her patience with Gerald runs out?
I struggled a bit with the first book in the series, but I’m glad I gave the series a second chance. Plum was a much better, more relatable character. Gerald still annoyed me, but the rest of the cast were fun and did a good job of keeping me guessing. The mystery was strong. A couple things seemed a little rushed, but overall it was good and reached a logical solution. Reading this book made me want to hop a plane for a tropical resort. I’ll definitely book time for the final entry in the series.

This is my first time reading a book by Jennifer Pierce and I really enjoyed the way she wove her suspenseful story! I was hooked from the very first chapter by the plight of the main character, I mean imagine being on the run at eight months pregnant! The characters were well done, easy to get to know, and both had good character depth for the length of the story. I thought it was a very well written book with interesting twists and turns that kept my interest easily.
It is the second book in a series, but I read it without reading the first book and wasn’t lost at all, but I am going to go back and read the first book since I liked this one so much.
I give this book 5 out of 5 stars for the great mystery/suspense, for the character's interactions, and for leaving me anticipating the next book!
*I volunteered to read this book in return for my honest feedback. The thoughts and opinions expressed within are my own.

This book started off well and I really enjoyed it until the 2 characters got together. It was ok at first but then the book got a boring. It seems like it was repeating itself and the book didn't seem to go anywhere after that for quite a few chapters. I stuck with it.
I didn't realise the book was part of a series and I would read the second book but I am a bit worried that the same thing is going to happen in the second book.
The book is not a genre I would normally read but the blurb caught my attention and I am glad I gave it a read.
I found the lives the characters lived interesting.
The story did make me think about things such as deja vu. The things the author wrote did make sense.
The audience I would say if for late teens to late 20's.
I received a complimentary copy of the book from the author via Voracious Readers Only.

This well written story kept my interest from beginning to end and the characters are all unique and jump right out of the pages. Lisa is my favorite character and little by little she realizes that things are often not as they seem. I look forward to reading the second book in this series!!

this was the second in the series and it was just as good if not better than the first! you are thrown right back into the story and the depth that comes is so enveloping. I would be surprised if someone didn't finish the book the same day they started just to know what happens!

Still loving the series sooo much!!! This book just felt more dragged out than the others.. still loved it but it took me longer to get through as certain parts just didn’t have me as captivated as the rest.
Upon second read id give it 10/10 if you skip certain chapters (which I did) ?
