Death by Honeymoon (Book #1 in the Caribbean Murder… por Jaden Skye
As they honeymoon in Barbados, Cindy and Clint are happy until just before they leave Clint dies while surfing. Cindy cannot believe that this could happen to an expert surfer.
'She suddenly realised that it didn't matter. Maybe it wasn't about ever getting over it. It was about finding the truth, getting justice for Clint, stopping worse things from happening. There was no time for self-pity. She had a big job ahead.'
Plot
On the eastern shore of Barbados, Cindy and Clint are enjoying their honeymoon when suddenly their married life is cut short. Clint's body is found washed up in the ocean; drowned in a freak surfing accident. The local police close the case and Cindy is left to grieve.
Cindy isn't convinced that her husband was killed in an accident. Clint was an experienced surfer; he knew the ocean well. Cindy is determined to unravel the mystery surrounding her husband's death, but soon finds herself and her family in danger. As she investigates, she uncovers secrets about her husband, and realises she didn't know him as well as she thought she did.
My thoughts
I got this book as a freebie on Amazon for my Kindle, to read as part of a challenge on my Goodreads group. The challenge is to read as many summer-themed books as possible before 10th October, so as this one was free, I thought I'd give it a go.
Whilst I enjoyed this book, there was nothing that particularly stood out for me. There was nothing that made this an amazing book, but it was an enjoyable and quick read. I read this in a few days; the plot was fast paced and interesting. I did find myself sucked into the story; as Cindy uncovered more about Clint's death, I really got engrossed in the story and wanted to know what really happened.
I did guess the outcome of the book before I finished it, but as it's a mystery book, it's natural for the reader to come to their own conclusions before the end, and this time my guess was right. The ending is made fairly obvious throughout the book, but it was enjoyable watching it all unfold at the end, and knowing that my guess was right.
Cindy is a strong character. Of course she's devastated by her husband's death, and all she wants to do is lock herself away from the world. But as she comes to realise that Clint's death may not have been an accident, she's determined to prove her theory and find who's responsible. I really liked this about her; she loved her husband deeply, despite not being together for long before they got married. Their married life was planned and cruelly snatched away from them, and she's very brave to delve into a potentially dangerous situation.

I found it very hard to get into. It starts with a protracted lecture from Tracey Wrenn--mostly information that I didn't find very interesting, especially with the scene going on so long. Beyond that, I never really felt like I connected with the characters or the plot. The plot took way too long to get going for my taste.
Note: Some versions seem to have the author as Jaden Skye while others say Julian Starr.

Great book - love the progression of the stories and how they tie together. The mystery and love aspect makes me continue to read these books. Its like a love mystery soap opera.
