Running Scared

Rate this book
Joey Sapphire wakes next to a dead man, the son of the American Ambassador to Trinidad, in a boat at anchor. It quickly dawns on her that she has to get rid of the body, because it looks like she did it and they hang murderers in Trinidad. So she weighs it down and drops it overboard. But she knows she's not safe, because the killer knows about her. She finds out that her husband Mick is blackmailing the daughter of the President of the United States and that the dead ambassador's son was Mick's partner. Now some very bad men think she is in on the plot. Joey is in trouble and she has nowhere to run.

Good vacation read here Barbados, as it is set in Trinidad. Book starts with a real grabber as Joey wakes up next to a dead man with no recollection what she did the previous night. Getting rid of the body is only the first challenge she meets in this fast-paced pot-boiler.

If you enjoy sailing or boating, you might find this book interesting.Some sections (taxi driver scene) were cut and paste from the previous book Scorpion. I think Scorpion was better than this one but I wasn't crazy about either.
