Amethyst Elizabeth (Amy Ann) Andrews, schoolteacher and Nebraska native was given an offer she couldn’t refuse: two weeks in the Caribbean’s absolutely free. All she had to do was watch her best friend’s (Donna) son, Jeremy. Donna is about to be married to David Diaz, after their wedding they are to depart on a two week long honeymoon. Amy is hesitant at first but does not turn down the opportunity of a free trip to a tropical island and to see Jeremy, whom she help raise--Amy hadn’t seen him in years.

Donna tells Amy that she has found her perfect match, Hotel Magnate Peter Harris. He’s rich and handsome—he’s also missing and engaged to be married to a woman whose personality can only be described as snobbish. Amy of course brushes off this prospect and is more inclined to enjoy her time with Jeremy and the island beaches. When she arrives to Palmaltas she soon meets a carefree beach bum, Pepe; a man who really takes pleasure in his fishing—but is he more than what he appears to be?

Author Tricia Lee gives a breathtaking portrayal of the island of Palmaltas that readers can almost visualize. Her characters are believable and enjoyable. A Caribbean Summer is an entertaining mystery that whips in a healthy serving of romance and suspense. Tricia Lee will keep you wondering to the very end. It is a book I definitely recommend.
