Years ago when Claire was only seven years old, her much older sister, Alison, disappeared while on vacation on the Caribbean island of Saint X. Now that Claire is an adult and after she has an accidental encounter with one of the men originally suspected of murdering her sister, Claire is determined to find out the truth. What will she discover while searching for clues, and how will her developing relationship with the men accused of the crime affect her quest?

I went into this book thinking it was a thriller but the pacing was too slow for that. Overall, I thought this was a good story but it was 75-100 pages too long and there were way too many descriptions and run-on sentences for my taste. It reminded me of a Danielle Steel novel, for heavens sake.

I received an advance copy of this book. All opinions are my own.
