A Mediterranean island and a mysterious murder!
I got an Agatha Christie vibe to the story. At first, I had trouble keeping track of who was who but then I got totally caught up in the story and couldn't put it down until I finished. A great assortment of characters and plenty of mystery, even beyond the murders. I loved seeing how Amelia grew once she was out from under the control of her emotionally and verbally abusive narcissistic mother to a strong take charge young woman. Her Uncle Seb giving her the island was a blessing but also could be a curse with the unsolved mysteries to come. I can't believe we have to wait so long for the next book to come out. I'm ready now. Loved this book!!

Awesome book!!!
This is the first book in the Amelia Ferver mysteries and it ROCKS. I absolutely adore it. The characters are fantastic. The mystery kept me guessing and I was wrong a lot. I had lots of fun getting to know Amelia and her family and friends. I love the idea that she inherits an island but the are stipulations in the Will. The whole book was a lot of fun to read and I highly recommend it.
