Summary

Florida's Tango Key has never been so hot. Especially now with multimillionaire and amateur archaeologist Doug Cooper turning up headless behind his beach house. It seems a number of people stand to gain from his demise, including a stunning young widow, an adulterous son, and two gold diggers from Cooper's South American exploits.

Detective Aline Scott knows a scandal like this could turn the wealthy island paradise into a no-man's land. But when she starts to sift through the facts, she unearths a startling new mystery...one that leads to a missing and priceless archaeological treasure - and the unsolved murder of Aline's closest friend three years before.

How to ruin a story

1. Select an awful narrator who speaks with the emphasis in all the wrong places, has little variation in voice characters, and speaks as though she has little understanding of what she's reading. There are some good sections, more toward the end, but on the whole I would say the narration was overwhelmingly poor.

2. Have an author who mistakenly thinks he's a literary genius. I had to laugh at some of the attempts at lyricism, and I can confidently state that some of his word choices do not mean what he thinks they mean.

The story and the tenses jump around between the murder mystery and a kidnapping, and I think it's actually a poor choice to have narration in books that have sections of past/present, it can be hard enough to follow in physical books and the narration has to be excellent to carry it off in audio format.

The sad thing is that there are the bones of a good story in all of this but the execution was not good.
