I'm glad other people liked this book, though some readers may have as many problems with it as I had. McKella Patterson has just married Paul Dinsmore, a man she doesn't really love, in order to protect her family's company. Now, on their honeymoon in Bermuda, her husband has disappeared, there have been several threats on her life, and only a stranger named Greg seems to believe in her.
Readers who've managed to enjoy some of Sinclair's other books will probably like this one, too. Newcomers should probably be warned that she has a little problem with logic. Just one example (don't worry. it's not a spoiler): Greg tells McKella that she has to trust him, since she has no alibi and the police will turn to her first. Which makes no sense, since she does have an alibi for the event he's talking about--a threat on her life which the police were even at! A lot of "Married in Haste" is just as hard to swallow, including a killer who waits for no apparent reason before striking--the reason seeming to be that, he's only supposed to act when the plot needs it, regardless of whether or not it makes sense. McKella keeps fluctuating between her husband and the new man and her life, forgetting her spouse for long stretches, then reclaiming her allegiance out of nowhere. The best part of the book is the prologue: moody and suspenseful, it pulls you right in. I will gladly admit that this is one of Sinclair's best written books, and the characters--when McKella isn't fluctuating madly--are sympathetic and well defined. Too bad I couldn't believe a minute of the story they were trapped in.
