I enjoy offbeat and unusual stories, and this fits the bill. At first, I thought from the title it might be a little darker than I enjoy, but although there’s plenty of suspense, that isn’t the case. The viewpoint character has a strong, lively voice, and I especially enjoyed the high quality of the writing, Rachel’s friendship with Tillie (who started out annoying but grew on me), and the insights into Barbados. The ending tied up the storyline better than I expected, with fast pacing and a satisfying conclusion.
