The cover art, with its tropical feel, fits in nicely with the story. The main premise involves the disappearance of college student Alison, vacationing on the Caribbean island of Saint X with her parents and her seven year old sister Claire. Saint X is the story of what happens after that fateful day and how Claire's life is forever changed. The problem is the format of the novel, as the story is written like it is narrated from the outside looking in. The author took too long to get to the point, describing everything to the littlest detail. I am not sure if I would buy this book, but I might seek it out from my local library.
