ISLAND BREEZES
I’ve read this book several times and enjoyed it every single time.
Patricia Fisher did what many women would do if they discovered their husband being unfaithful with their “friend.” They plot revenge. As soon as Patricia figured out what would most hurt her husband Charlie, she went to work on it.
Money. She wiped out all his finances and ended up spending nearly all of it on a three month cruise in the most luxurious suite on a very luxurious ship.
Now she’s making new friends onboard. She gets into some interesting situations with these friends who are helping her uncover a murderer. She’s been accused of the murder and confined to her cabin.
During one of her low points she agrees to meet her husband in one of the ports and return home with him.
It’s sad to see a woman who finally got her act together pack her bags to go home with that jerk.
Thank you, Mr. Higgs for a fun book.

When Steve Higgs wrote his debut novel, Paranormal Nonsense, he was a Captain in the British Army. He would love to pretend that he had one of those careers that has to be redacted and in general denied by the government and that he has had to change his name and continually move about because he is still on the watch list in several countries. In truth though, he started out as a mechanic, no not like Jason Statham, sneaking about as a contract killer, more like one of those greasy gits that charge you a fortune and keep your car for a week when all you went in for was a squeaky door hinge.
At school, he was mostly disinterested in every subject except creative writing, for which, at age ten, he won his first award. However, calling it his first award suggests that there have been more, which there have not. Accolades may come but, in the meantime, he is having a ball writing mystery stories and crime thrillers and claims to have more than a hundred books forming an unruly queue in his head as they clamor to get out.
Now retired from the military, he lives in the south-east corner of England with a trio of lazy sausage dogs. Surrounded by rolling hills, brooding castles and vineyards, he doubts he will ever leave, the beer is just too good.
