Afoot on St. Croix (Mystery in the Islands)
"Hale's novels are elaborate puzzle pieces where plots at first seem scattered and unrelated, but ultimately weave together into one surprisingly unified storyline.  Complex, funny and with darker tones that share more elements with the black-comedy mysteries written by Tim Dorsey than any cozy,Afoot on St. Croixentertains with its many self-centered characters that are flawed, but sympathetic and all-too-human."--Kings River Life Magazine(October 2013)."Readers will be enchanted by the setting, intrigued by the characters and amazed by the writing in this island cozy....a wonderful blend of the Caribbean in every chapter."--Debbie's Book Bag.
