Sometimes it is difficult to define exactly why one does not care for a book.  Not so much this time.  The central characters were not well formed.  Their emotional motivations were juvenile and, thus, so were most of their actions.  The core of each of their personal dramas provides ample material for creating well defined individuals.  Rather than do so, the author provided characters who seemed to be stuck in junior high school.The plot as applied to the murder suffered from much the same.  The story was simple and the behavior of the secondary characters unrealistic, even for a work of fiction.  The dialogue was stilted and the repeated use of the term "jewels" in place of jewelry was jaring.  20 somethings have seldom, if ever, used that term to describe "bling".The editing was exceptionally poor.  While it is not unusual to find editing errors in e-books, this was beyond a few goofs.Why not a one star rating, you ask?  Because I have been to the Caribbean and the book did evoke fond memories of the sea breezes and the blue sea.
