Much a do

I enjoyed this book to start with but there was too much running around the island looking for a brother that didn't want to be found and when he was found he was reluctant to help his own case. It got a bit tedious as it meant less time working out the actual killer. Who I guessed right. There was also a few unanswered questions like why the smoke in the shop? Or how the killer got the threatening note to Whitney. I don't mean to knit pick but they just bothered me which is a shame because otherwise I liked the book. The characters were quirky and I especially liked the Grandmother sorry Goldie who was a hoot and could of probably have solved the case a lot quicker on her own father than looking after the shop. Although she did have to sunbathe every 5 minutes, despite her grandson being wanted for murder. The mystery was long winded with a lot going on and at the same time not much.
Whitney has given up her high flying job to return home and open her own shop and help run the family business. Giving tours on the family glass bottomed boat is exactly the life she needs, where her biggest worry is why to find the sea life or whether the seashell necklace will sell in her shop. Unfortunately things don't stay quite for long. When the man being honoured as the person of the year floats under her boat. Instead of getting an award he seems to have been given a death sentence and the police think Whitney's brother is the one that gave it to him. Before she can ask him why he runs from the police he goes into hiding. The police are just looking for her brother but Whitney is looking for a killer.
