3.0
This was more like the type of book I remembered from Whitney. I thought the relationship between Jessica and King felt forced and rather than rooting for Leila to be saved, I was ready to ship her off. A good read and I'll keep on working my way through Whitney's works.

Probably my favorite of all Whitney's massive volume of work, this is the story of Jessica Abbott, a former school teacher, who is talked into supervising a troubled teen by the family matriarch. The story is set on the island of St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands. It is a wonderful example of the romantic mystery novel of which Phyllis Whitney is the undisputed master. Some adult concepts: murder and adultery, but nothing graphic.
