“The Corpse with the Pearly Smile is a cosy closed-circle mystery, set on an island with a limited number of suspects. Much like Agatha Christie’s Poirot, Cait observes and questions everyone around her. After chatting with the staff at the hotel, she realises that she doesn’t know everyone as well as she thought…This series is ideal for crime fiction readers who enjoy travelling vicariously through their reading. Every book in the series is set in a different location.” Crimefictionlover
“This 14th in the series continues to explore Cait and Bud’s delightful relationship, which after three years of marriage still has them charmingly calling one another “wife” and “husband”…with Cait realizing the most that not everything – or everyone – is as they first seem to be. That doesn’t mean that the exquisite setting isn’t showcased at its most enviable, nor that the mouth-watering meals aren’t also described so well that they tantalize with flavors of coconut and li hing mui. This is another enjoyable mystery that explores timely topics while also showcasing a unique and engaging investigative couple.” Kings River Life Magazine
“…a superb edition to an excellent series, with engaging characters, a compelling plot, fascinating descriptions of a place that is for many people associated with the paradise depicted in Gauguin's art. Above all the book has a depth and truthfulness that lift it above other crime novels. This is a page turner, which I wholeheartedly recommend.” Mystery People Magazine
