No Virgin Island: A Sabrina Salter Mystery

Sabrina Salter has escaped a past in Boston, hoping to enjoy her new life in St. John. However, trouble finds her in the US Virgin Islands when she arrives to clean one of the villas she maintains only to find the tenant dead in the outside hammock. Will the police see her as the prime suspect? Can she live through something like this again?

While the setting may be a paradise, the tone is more somber given Sabrina’s past. I enjoyed the juxtaposition and getting to know the strong characters. The plot unfolds differently than I am used to in a mystery, but everything we need to solve the crime is there, and we get two very dramatic and satisfying climaxes.

Description from Mira Grant's website: Post-Rising Australia can be a dangerous place, especially if you’re a member of the government-sponsored Australia Conservation Corps, a group of people dedicated to preserving their continent’s natural wealth until a cure can be found. Between the zombie kangaroos at the fences and the zombie elephant seals turning the penguin rookery at Prince Phillip Island into a slaughterhouse, the work of an animal conservationist is truly never done–and is often done at the end of a sniper rifle.

This novella is part of the newsflesh trilogy and explores how Australia would deal with a zombie outbreak. The answer is they would not bat an eyelid. This book is hilarious, well written and we get more of an insight into Mahir as he investigate's a story in Australia.

Fantasy island, a new holiday destination where all your dreams come true but careful what you ask for as every fantasy can take a turn for the worse or turn out completely different to how you had hoped.
Perfect story to get lost in if you can keep up with all the different scenarios! Brilliant idea and such entertainment brilliant film from start to finish with a cheesy American twist at the end, although it worked well I half hoped for a different twist, maybe from a mother looking for revenge. I really enjoyed the way they brought every character together and show how they all linked in with the film, Don't want to go into too much detail, wouldn't want to ruin it for others, on the whole really good watch highly recommend.
