St. Barth’s has a murder rate of zero. But that’s about to change.
“Utterly delectable and addicting . . . Sunburned is what happens when Agatha Christie meets a thoroughly modern, sexy sensibility.”—Ashley Winstead, USA Today bestselling author of Midnight Is the Darkest Hour
When
Audrey Collet’s ex Tyson calls, threatening to expose the skeletons in
her closet unless she helps him figure out who is blackmailing him, she
wants nothing more than to refuse. Though their relationship ended over a
decade ago, the scars are deep. And since his tech company made him a
billionaire, he’s become more than a little eccentric . . . and
paranoid.
But a foot has washed ashore in the Everglades—that’s
right, an actual human foot, encased in an Air Jordan—and Tyson is quick
to remind Audrey that it’s one whose long-dead owner they both have a
connection to. A connection that could prove problematic, if it got out.
Audrey
reluctantly agrees to meet Tyson at his home on the swanky Caribbean
island of St. Barth’s to help him figure out who in his entourage is
extorting him and what they know about the secrets he and Audrey share.
Once there, she realizes that each person staying at Tyson’s lavish
estate has a reason to wish him harm. Could the culprit be the gorgeous
Belgian wife whose wings he’s clipped? The celebrity business partner
he’s essentially holding hostage? The older brother who’s always been in
his shadow? Or the sexy French butler he seems to trust more than he
should?
Audrey has only just scratched the surface of what’s
going on behind closed doors when Tyson’s birthday dive turns deadly,
and she realizes that one of the seven people trapped on his yacht with
her is not just a blackmailer but a murderer. If Audrey can’t catch the
killer in time, she might become the next victim.
MY REVIEW- 10 STARS (my title) Best story ever, loved all of it
Tyson Dale, what a creepy billionaire, charming but oh so self serving. Even from the beginning when he was charming Audrey and then just shrugging off the fact that he was just using her. He might have loved her in his own way at first but his dark evil ways just kept on growing. It was no surprise when it was said that EVERYONE HATED him. And wanted to kill him at one time or another. It kept things interesting to see who actually gets murdered and then how the list of murderers keeps getting increased and then increased !!! Clever story telling ! And what happened to Ian Kelley? The tensions, and dangers were off the chart great ! So was the sarcasm which I really enjoyed a lot. And the code word "Sunburned'? So clever and sure explained the title.
Audrey Collet was the best and so was her business partner and friend Rosa !! Discovery agent was an interesting choice of career fo Audrey but she was skilled and good at her job. She's going to have to be. Her two ten year old sons, Alexander and Benjamin (Benji) show up briefly and are mentioned from time to time.Tyson's brother Cody wasn't exempt and his girlfriend Jennifer had me scratching my head a lot. Whose side are they on? What are their true motives for being there? And that sexy butler Laurent was one of the BIGGEST mysteries. One that I really enjoyed. Tyson blackmailed everyone. He stole from everyone and kept their secrets and held over their heads so they HAD to do what he wanted them to do.
Astounding surprises at the end. And I especially loved the Epilogue !
I loved this story that I got through Netgalley !
