This is book three of the Palmchat Islands Mystery series and follows a couple, Vivian and Leo. They are both journalists and Leo has had to return to run his father’s newspaper empire in the islands, after his father had what is supposed to have been a severe heart attack, which he is recovering badly from. So, Leo is stuck running a newspaper instead of being off in some danger zone reporting on wars, etc. Vivian is holding onto a secret and is glad that Leo is working beside her and safe.
This story follows the case of a rampant womaniser, who it is found out is also a whistle-blower, ends up dead at the house of his latest fling, in a very brutal manner with his head almost taken off in the attack. Viv sets up one of her junior reporters, Beanie, on the case, under her careful watch. Leo gets even more frustrated with the aspects of managing the papers and pokes his hand in where it isn’t welcome, causing problems between him and Viv.
He spends a lot of this book whining about being forced into taking over and managing his dad’s role, which makes him quite unpleasant as a character in this book. Viv spends a lot of her time building up her junior reporters, but also keeping a secret she wished she didn’t have to.
The murder case gets more involved, with them looking into links with the murder victim’s unhappy previous partners but also the secrets of his company which he was willing to divulge to others. Which caused his death is left to nearer the end of the book for you to discover, as the story takes you off on different tangents and into some dangerous places for the reporting duo.
These are easy read mysteries with nothing too complex to the read. Lots of misleading plots and twists to go along with, but a lovely island location and the laid back lifestyle. The small group of regular characters from the newspaper, lets you get to know them as you read through the series. A good look into investigative reporting and what this entails, mixed in with a mystery to be solved. A little let down with Leo’s character mood in this one, but will wait and see what the next one brings.
