About this ebook

DEATH BY DESIRE is Book #4 in the #1 Bestselling Caribbean Murder series, following the FREE book DEATH BY HONEYMOON (#1), DEATH BY DIVORCE (#2) and DEATH BY MARRIAGE (#3).

In the midst of gorgeous St. Bart’s, a few days before Christmas, a Senator’s daughter is found stabbed and strangled on the beach—the day after her engagement party. While the rich and famous are pouring in to celebrate the holidays, the local police are desperate to keep it quiet and not cause an uproar. But the Senator’s family wants justice for their daughter, and they hire Cindy and Mattheus to solve the crime.

As Cindy and Mattheus investigate, they meet the elite crowd surrounding the Senator’s family, an exclusive world of unimaginable wealth, of luxurious parties on yachts and private villas. They learn of all the people who may have wanted the young woman dead, all the jealousies and rivalries, the secret ex-es and affairs. They meet her devastated fiancé, her twin sister and her distraught Mom—all intent on the killer’s being found. They meet the corrupt police force, who wants them stopped, and a rich Russian mogul who controls half the island—and has his own agenda to bring down the senator.

As they delve deeper, they learn the many secrets of this exclusive family and the young woman, and discover that all was not as perfect as it appeared to be. As they get close to the answers, Cindy faces personal danger, while at the same time her relationship with Mattheus grows deeper—and faces a crisis of its own.

And as the two of them are about to leave the island, a sudden twist in events changes everything. Ultimately, they come to learn that on the pristine, perfect St. Bart's, everything is not always as it seems to be.

Books #5--#14 in the series are now also available!

Ratings and reviews

The series are true mysteries set in romantic places. ..reading is easy but the editing gets 1 star or perhaps there's no time to edit to keep the pace of the author producing so many stories. .frustrating to read by the time the reader gets half way thru....you feel like a red pencil could be used to make many corrections. Has editing been deleted in order to get books published quickly

This has been an enjoyable summer series. Please address the typos & poor proof reading. It is very distracting to the story. At first I thought it had to be just in the first book, but continues throughout the series.if these books were at full price I would have stopped after #1 due to typos. This little series deserves better.

A lot of typos and grammatical errors. Including Cindy Blaine being called by the victims name. Almost as if the writer is simply trying to put her works out on the market quick without quality. She could be a fantastic author if she would stop trying to keep up with Nora Roberts, and hire better proof readers. The publisher it seems is just out for a fast buck as well.
