The Empty Chair
The Empty Chair: Murder in the Caribbean | Penny Goetjen
4 posts | 4 read | 4 to read
Young Olivia travels to the Virgin Islands to settle affairs after receiving word her mother, a highly acclaimed photographer on St. Thomas, has perished in a boating accident, but island police have no record of her death or even the accident. Could her mother still be alive? Olivia desperately needs the truth, if she has to find it herself. A bar brawl. A break-in and robbery. Her mother's Caribbean bungalow ransacked. Can things get any worse at picturesque Magens Bay? Olivia's search takes a sinister turn when a charming man, claiming to be her mother's lover, is murdered and she's the prime suspect. Entangled in the same dark web of crime that may have ensnared her mother, Olivia is low on cash, high on mistrust, yet must rely on the ruggedly handsome stranger who seems to surface when she most needs saving, but is he her rescuer-turned-lover or her deadly foe?

This book is not the correct book tagged. But it is by that author. I was not taking the time to add this book but it‘s a very good family drama murder mystery.

4⭐️ THE EMPTY CHAIR is like riding on a roller coaster. The story has up & downs, & twists and turns, it‘s fast & then it‘s over, way to soon. An adrenaline pumping, heart pounding ride. Once you start it, it‘s hard to put down. And you really don‘t want it to be over. The descriptive setting in the St Thomas, Virgin Islands was picturesque and idylic. https://lharvey250.tumblr.com/post/155701353019/the-empty-chair-murder-in-the-ca...

Olivia is summoned to the beautiful Caribbean island of St. Thomas after a mysterious phone call about her mother's demise. Assuming it will simply be a matter of taking care of paperwork and final affairs, what she hasn't bargained for is a handsome stranger, a bar fight, dead bodies, and many secrets and lies. Set in an idyllic setting, it made me want to book a cruise (without the bodies of course)!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

BraveNewBooks I live a couple blocks from where the cruise ships dock in Puerto Rico. If you stop here let me know and we'll meet up for a cocktail! 😊🍹 8y
Alfoster @BraveNewWorld Oh rats! We were actually there in April on a cruise (where I took this pic of St. Thomas). If we go again, we will absolutely do that! Let me know if you come to San Diego!😀 8y
Alfoster @BraveNewBooks I meant the above post for you. My phone got ahead of me!😝 8y

Donna_sBookMinute This photo looks exactly as I imagined based on descriptions of a friend who travelled there frequently. Did you take it? 8y
Alfoster @Donna_sBookMinute Yes, actually I did with my iPhone, and I'm usually not a very good photographer! But the scenery is so lovely it speaks for itself! 8y
Donna_sBookMinute Simply beautiful. 8y
