Jaden Skye's Death by Divorce, the second book in the Caribbean Murder Series, finds Cindy once again headed for the island of Grenada in the Caribbean.  Ames, the husband of her friend from high school, Dalia, has gone missing and Dalia wants Cindy to investigate his disappearance.  She knows that Cindy did her own investigation when her husband died on their honeymoon on Barbados, and that Cindy was able to solve the case and find his killer.When Cindy arrives she finds Dalia happy to see her and Dalia is living in a very posh villa withbeautiful views all around.  However, as Cindy's investigation into the death of Ames goes deeper into his life, work and business associates, Dalia becomes more distraught and panicked and Cindy becomes a target for Dalia's irrational behavior. Secrets and lies abound on the Spice Island and Dalia has plenty of both that she's hiding.Sooner than later Cindy must deal with the island's police department and one of the two officers, Mattheus, is drawn to Cindy and her investigative skills and takes on the responsibility of watching over her because of dangerous situations that she could face. In the meantime, Cindy interviews Elizabeth, Ames's second wife who lives nearby and who is divorced from Ames. Each interview brings out more unsavory information and people aren't who they seem to be.I enjoyed Death by Divorce despite the many editing problems. The plot and the characters are both interesting and the book is basically one that kept me reading until the end.  The plot could be a little more complex, and the reactions to Cindy's nearly unrestrained and sometimes dangerous boldness with people she interviews could be reined in a bit to make it more realistic.Overall, I enjoyed the book as well as the first in the series, Death by Honeymoon, and I plan to read the third one, Death by Marriage.  Hopefully there will be better editing of following books in this series.
