Publisher's summary

A missing girl in Caribbean paradise. And an old flame to complicate the trip.

Check out this beach-y Violet Darger short, featuring Darger, Loshak, Owen, and Spinks.

When 17-year-old Micaela Tolliver goes missing during her beach vacation, FBI profiler Violet Darger heads to Curacao to investigate. The case vexes local law enforcement, with plenty of suspicious characters around and comparisons to Natalee Holloway aplenty.

Red herrings. False starts. People who will go great lengths to protect the island's long-held secrets.

Further complications emerge due to someone else entangled in the case—Darger's old friend and former lover, private investigator Owen Baxter. They're working together for the first time after a bad breakup. The tension is palpable, and Darger begins to question the knot of conflicts in her own heart.

Corruption. Death. Sand. Romance.

Once again, Violet Darger shines her light into the shadows. And what she finds there in the darkness will change her.

The Violet Darger novels can be listened to in any order.

Violet Darger and Vic Loshak are back!!!!!!

In September of 2021 I read Trouble in Paradise and my original review is included following this addition based on the audiobook I recently listened to. When I was offered a review copy of the audiobook for Trouble in Paradise by the authors, I immediately took the opportunity. Listening to Natalie Naudus narrate a story I had previously enjoyed, was an excellent experience, not only are Natalie’s narration skills top-notch, but she also brought the story to life by giving voice to each of the characters. Through listening to the story, I found myself finding items I had forgotten or misremembered from my initial reading.

Violet Darger is back and in the company of Victor Loshak and Leon Spinks as they take on a case set in the Caribbean. To say I was thrilled to see the line-up of characters in this story would be an understatement, I’ve been wanting them to all be in a story for quite a while. So, with all that said, this story isn’t the typical serial killer story we readers have become accustomed to in the previous Darger stories, but this story stands on its own right up there will all the previous Violet Darger stories. I can’t say which of them is my favorite, but I have developed a fondness for Trouble in Paradise because of the differences from the other stories, not to mention having all three of my favorite characters working together finally. Oh, by the way, this one is filled with more than enough action & intrigue not to mention misdirection to keep you on the edge of your seat and busy guessing how it’s going to finally be resolved. I received an Advance Reader Copy and chose to provide my honest review.

I missed Owen and Violet

What a great story. I just wished it was longer and Violet and Owen had more interactions together.

Terrible narrator

The narrator absolutely butcher this story and will prevent me from listening to any more Darger and Loshak books. I adore the story, but her too soft voice, weird phrasing, and ANNOYING UPTALKING just made me mad the whole time I listened. So disappointing.
