Isabella Cabrera holds dual citizenship with Spain and America. Some believe her to be related to Queen Isabella 1 of Castile. On the 15th of April, by the light of a full moon--remarkably pink--Ms. Cabrera loads her collection of custom-made shotguns, inherited from her late father, and opens fire with a horrific volley on the windward side of Florida's pristine, St. George Island. Defending herself, she claims, while enjoying a Pink Moscato Sangria on the deck of her beach house. In the absence of evidence--and bodies, Judge David Henry wants to know who--or, what she was shooting at.
I initially judged this book by its cover. I was walking past the bookshelves and it caught my attention. I stopped to check it out and it had a decent enough summary and is short, plus I'm always a sucker for a moon story. So, I decided to check it out despite currently being in the middle of several other books.
I'm glad I did. It was a quick and easy read. It is a different approach. The story is about a homeless man who writes a book. The beginning is about him. Then the majority of the book is the story he wrote. The end is about his book being published. The book within the book is a fun little read, but not worthy of 5 stars. It's the heartwarming end about the homeless man getting his book published that really makes it a good story.
