No Virgin Island

In C. Michele Dorsey's No Virgin Island, the first installment in the Sabrina Salter mystery series, this debut would take you to the tropical paradise of the Virgin Island. Sabrina Salter was a former meteorologist from Boston, who had a bit of a dark past and accused of murdering her husband. She escaped to the US Virgin Islands to leave all that behind her. But when she discovered a dead body in Villa Mascarpone, one of the Ten Villas she co-owns with Henry, her friend and business partner, it had brought up her dirty laundry once again. She becomes the prime suspect in the investigation and the main news story for Faith Chase's fodder. While they look into who the victim was, she had new friends and close allies  in her neighbors on the island as things go a bit awry. From a missing gun to a woman looking for her wrongly kidnapped children, it all comes to the head in a cliffhanger twist on who done it and why in the shocking ending.


This was a gripping and terrific new mystery series debut. I loved the tropical settings of the US Virgin Island from St. John and to the other U.S. Virgin lands for the picturesque locations throughout this page-turner book. This had swept me away and want to find my own tropical paradise like in Hawaii. (Though in reality, when Hurricane Irma came through to rip through the Caribbean islands like Puerto Rico, it's a bit devastating and heartening to hear.) I cared for Sabrina and hated for her to be wronged for a crime she didn't commit. She has a great personality and a lot of charisma to start a new life as an ex-pat in the islands. I did think Neil was charming as a possible love interest as well. This would enchant you with the call of the islands, leaving you speechless and shaking your head with a grimace or a groan with non-stop action, drama, suspense and a hint of mystery.
