Mango Bay
'Mango Bay’ is a contemporary thriller, based on true events. It follows Jeffrey Taylor, outwardly a charmer, but in truth a selfish schemer and an inveterate liar. When he learns of the extent of Miranda’s wealth, he deceives her into becoming his wife. After Jeffrey retires from his estate agency business, she pays for a five-star stay in Sainte Marie, in the Caribbean. Rather than luxuriating in the tropical paradise, Miranda soon finds her holiday goes horribly wrong. Her life, and those of others, is permanently changed by Jeffrey.

A thriller based on true events. I totally enjoyed being taken to the Caribbean within the pages of this exciting novel.
Jeffrey and Miranda Taylor are holidaymakers in Sainte Marie, a five star holiday resort in the Caribbean.
Miranda has wealth, Jeffrey has plans. What exactly is Jeffrey up to?
The first few pages started slowly for me, but then bam! I was hooked right into this book.
The novel is set mainly in Sainte Marie, but does have little bits set elsewhere.
There are various characters featured, some of them likeable, some totally not, but easy to visualise them all and their different roles.
I was transported at times to the Caribbean and could feel myself there, with the lovely descriptions of a beautiful exotic island.
I found the tale very interesting throughout.
Many thanks to the author for an advanced reading copy. Opinions of this book are entirely my own.

Jeffrey Taylor is an odious man, and when his lifeless body is pulled out of the water in Mango Bay, very few people regret his passing. But is his death due to natural causes or something more sinister?
Cynthea Gregory has woven a fascinating tale in her thriller, Mango Bay. There are a whole host of characters, some very likable, some much less so, whose stores unfold over a five year period. I found the story gripping and read it in one sitting.

The author manages to capture the exotic side of the Caribbean that we see in the travel brochures, but at the same time gives an insight on how hard life can be for some of the inhabitants. We also learn how an unscrupulous man, Jeffrey Taylor, leads a life of deceit and dishonesty, and uses people. But in the end he gets his just rewards, and the book has a real feel-good ending. Thoroughly recommended.
