Constable Teddy Creque scarcely survived his previous British Virgin Islands investigation (Sun, Sand, Murder), for which he received a medal of honor and promotion. When body parts showing signs of a shark attack wash ashore, Teddy uses his fishing skills to capture the fish and retrieve the rest of the corpse. Teddy believes the death of Dr. Michele Konnerth wasn't accidental, and that the shark was intended as a murder weapon. Despite resistance from the locals, Teddy forges ahead with his investigation with the help of tantalizing Jeanne Trengrouse, her unorthodox son Jemmy, garrulous and foul-mouthed scarier macaw Sir Winston Churchill, and Anegadian friend Anthony Wedderburn.
VERDICT This sophomore effort is another winner with plenty of action, entertaining and appealing characters, and colorful depictions of island life. A solid read-alike of Agatha Christie's A Caribbean Mystery and Bob Morris's "Zack Chasteen" series.
