Description
When an old friend’s husband goes missing, she calls Cindy for help. Fresh from her own tragedy, Cindy returns to the Caribbean, this time to the gorgeous, lush island of Grenada, to find him.
Cindy, still grieving her own husband’s death, stays at her friend’s incredible villa on the ocean, as she does her best to help track down her friend’s husband, Ames. As Cindy investigates, she meets the different characters on the island, some local, some fantastically rich, all of whom seem to be involved with each other, either romantically or in shady business dealings. As Cindy uncovers secret affairs, odd money dealings and drugs, she realizes there is a complex web on the island, hidden from public view. And as she digs deeper into Ames’ life, she is shocked to discover how many secrets he had been hiding from his wife—and that she never really knew the man she loved.
The police at first refuse to take her seriously, but they soon gain respect for her tough intelligence, courage and determination. Cindy’s relationship with one cop in particular, Mattheus, develops in unexpected ways, as they give each other solace from their losses.
But Cindy digs too deep. Soon, she finds her own life in peril, as she heads into the dark underside of the island. Startling developments in the investigation lead to a shocking ending, as a body is discovered, and Cindy alone must find out if they’ve convicted the wrong person…
DEATH BY DIVORCE is Book #2 in the Caribbean Murder series, following DEATH BY HONEYMOON (Book #1).
Reviews
Terrible book
1By Pattio57This was one of the worst books ever. The prose was awkward and stilted, there was apparently no proof reader or editor involved. Reads like a high school attempt at a short story.Needs an Editor very badly
2By WestiesMamaThe first book in this series was very good and I bought three more. After this second book, I doubt I'll read the other two. I am normally okay with some editing issues - ebooks don't always translate to the screen perfectly. But this book was so rife with errors that it distracted from the plot. Every single page had mistakes. Things like Cindy stood up. She said a sentence or two. Then she flushed and stood up. Or the names get turned around on who's speaking and who they are speaking about. It's as though no one proofread this book at all. If the author asked her best friend to read it before publishing, the friend would have noticed these things. If you can put up with extremely sloppy attention to detail, you might like this book. It was just too much for me.Death by Diforce
2By kitten999Story line is slow, to many spelling and punctuation errors, whoever proof read this book did a lousy job.Death by Divorce
1By I'm the StormiSloppy. No corrections made for grammar or typos.Enjoyable Read
4By Lazy NanaIt was a little hokey, but all in all a cute mystery with a little love story to go with it. Could have used an editor. Grammar was a little off, as was the typeset in parts. I did enjoy the story, even with the sentimental way the main character saw things.Death by divorce
2By friendofhenryA fast read but this book has many grammatical errors and the story was completely unbelievable. No one person who is not a true investigator could get access so easily to any crime. It’s like writing for English 101.Horrible errors. Shameful really
1By Lost circus hdI'm just starting on chapter 4 and I've already found several typing errors that should have been caught through editing and proof reading. I rated a 1 star due to this. Series is good if you can get past grammar and punctuation errors. So I'm now starting chapter 9. And the punctuation only got worse, plus at one point character names were mixed up and I had to read 1 line 3 times to understand which character they were actually referring to. Sentence spacing starts getting bad also, deeper into book. Will keep everyone posted after a few more chapters. As I said in subject/title line, shameful editing.Great Read !!
4By Birdgirl325I am very impress with this book . One of the greatest book I ever read. It was so real and surprising and believably . I am very surprise with ending . It need to be proof read and it should be free .Death by Divorce
3By Jazzy LucThe plot and characters were both were both well developed and kept my interest throughout the book.However, the huge number of typos, run on sentences and words, the lack of correct punctuation and other blatant errors detracted enormously from my ability to remain concentrated. It's too bad that pre-editing of the manuscript did not occur prior to its being published.Death by Divorce
2By 963.32 MaryAlthough I enjoyed the quick reads, I could not believe how awful the editing is in her books. Not only punctuation but spelling and spacing, etc. If I were her, I would find a new editor. I have one more book to read that was purchased and most likely will not purchase anymore.
