The island of St. Thomas has been invaded and all
communication cut off as the FBI attempts to arrest the
Governor and all of the Senators on corruption charges.
However, things don't go quite as the FBI planned and now
the Governor and two senators, Senator Bobo and Senator
Sanchez, are loose and hiding. What plot is afoot on St.
Thomas? Is the real corruption something deeper than what
Operation Coconut originally intended?
AGROUND ON ST. THOMAS is the third book in the Mystery
in the Islands series. While the story can be read as
a standalone, I suggest reading at least the book prior,
Afoot on St. Croix, as we pick up the storylines of
several characters from the second novel. In particular,
the Coconut Boys make a reappearance as we get to see how
things unveil for them once Nova returns on the scene.
Rebecca M. Hale excels at crafting quirky characters and
AGROUND ON ST. THOMAS is chock full of them! I love how
Rebecca M. Hale weaves together the serious with the
whimsical, as AGROUND ON ST. THOMAS tackles a very real
political divide with eccentric characters who keep the
story upbeat and entertaining. I couldn't put AGROUND ON
ST. THOMAS down as I had to see how on earth Rebecca M.
Hale was going to resolve the complicated web she had
created! If you are looking for a mystery that is
guaranteed to take twists and turns you don't expect and
love quirky characters, then AGROUND ON ST. THOMAS is
perfect for your reading pleasure.
