I've had this eBook for quite some time now and finally got around to reading it. I was not disappointed! This short story captured my interest from the first page. It is well-written and the characters are realistic. I just had to know what was going to happen next. Joyce and her six-year-old daughter take a trip to Mexico and visit an island where they find dolls dangling in tribute to a young girl who drowned. The guide warns the tourists not to touch the dolls. To do so is prohibited and would cause bad luck. One mocking tourist disregards the guide as he grabs onto the dolls and poses for a picture. Later, Joyce reads that he has drowned in his pool. Spooked by the island and the "coincidental" death of the tourist, she's relieved that neither she nor her daughter touched any of the dolls. Yet, she's in for a shocker when she makes a startling discovery....Excellent short story. I'll definitely be reading more books by this author.
