Worth Reading: It's an interesting read but I probably wouldn't pick it up again.

Summary: St Luke, an island for the tourists. For the locals it's a difficult place to live and work, unless you're rich.

Populated by the whole gamut of society, the rich, the poor, those just wanting or needing to fall off the map, St Luke has seen its share of drama. Now, two bodies have washed up on the beach.

Nothing ties the two bodies together, except they were murdered, and both are missing the right hand.

This is not a "who dunnit", you know from the start what's going on. Instead, you watch the scenario play out as the police team try to figure what's been going on and why. This is not really a style of writing I enjoy, which is probably why I doubt I'll read it again.

This is the first book from Jonathan Nasaw I have read and it is an interesting tale. The locals switching in and out of dialect adds a nice bit of colour, pardon the pun, and it is well written. But for me, there just isn't enough meat on the bones.
