The Girl with the Dragonfruit Tattoo-Trouble in Paradise #3

Plum Lockheart is back and at it again. This time helping to solve the mystery of the death of a server girl on one of the yachts docked off the coast of Paraiso. Her life is going well. Having just opened her own mansion rental company, Plum Lockheart Luxury Retreats, together with her friend, Lucia. Even her love life is going well as things are heating up with Juan Kevin, a local detective. One night she is invited by an old friend, Ellen out to the yacht her and her husband are on that is owned by a famous music executive. 

The captain of the Paraiso police department asks Plum, who has helped solve a few other murders, to help in the case of the dead server, Lysette, who worked on the yacht owned by the music executive. She goes undercover on the boat to flush out who might be responsible for her death. Things really heat up once she's on the boat. Everyone is a suspect and yet no one is. There weren't very many clues to lead you to who it might be. Honestly, I liked this. I was surprised by the ending and definitely want more from this series. Especially between Juan Keving and Plum.

Overall, this is a great series. This book in particular has great characters even though none of them are likeable. None of them. Not one of the members of the yacht are likeable. From cheating husbands to one lying about his life, to a diva that no one can stand. However, that is to me, good writing. The author made the characters so unlikeable; you want them to be the murderers. Of the three in this series, this one was a little on the weak side, but I still enjoyed it and look forward to more. I received this book free from NetGalley for an honest review.
