The Bahamas is a tropical paradise, left almost untouched by the war that’s raging on around it but the peace is disturbed one night, when a young waitress helps a man that’s been stabbed and left for dead. Mr Morrell insists that he can’t be taken to the hospital, his attackers will be waiting there, so Dodie Wyatt takes him back to her modest home and tries to save his life. Before he dies, Mr Morrell leaves Dodie with two gold coins, a name and a lot of trouble.
This is a love story with a bit of murder and personally I would have found it more interesting had it been a murder story with a bit of romance. If you’re looking for a light beach read with a bit of romance this book is ok for you. If you’re looking for a murder mystery, I’d pick a different book.
If you’re looking for wartime fiction with a bit more bite, you’ll enjoy [[The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer]]. We also have a review of Furnivall's [[The Concubine's Secret by Kate Furnivall|The Concubine's Secret]].
