Book Reviews of Murder in Paradise (St. Martin's True Crime Library)

Book Review: A Gripping Page-Turner You Won't Be Able to Put Down!
Summary: 5 Stars

The best true crime book I've ever read. It felt like a real whodunnit with the same suspense, grip, range of emotions and page-turning qualities of a murder mystery. I ignored my family for 2 full days, unable to put down the book until I had absorbed every last detail--from the crime scene and the fascinating investigation to the intertwined backgrounds of the victim and the suspects, the author makes you feel like you are part of the jury at the trial, weighing all the evidence for yourself. An ideal stocking stuffer that will keep you riveted to your fireplace, I could not recommend this book enough!

Summary of Murder in Paradise (St. Martin's True Crime Library)

On January 15, 2000, the bruised body of thirty-four-year-old Lois McMillan, a Connecticut artist vacationing in the British Virgin Islands, was discovered draped across the rocks of an inlet where she had apparently drowned in the Caribbean waves. Local authorities on the little paradise of Tortola quickly confirmed that it was no accident.

The police immediately found their suspects-four young, rich American tourists. Within twenty-four hours, the men were arrested for murder and went from a life of carefree luxury to cold jail cells.

Each had an alibi. None of them had a motive. And there was no direct evidence linking any of them to Lois's death. Did authorities even have the right men? Was it a rush to judgment-a desperate attempt to save Tortola's reputation for peace and safety-or were these men hiding a terrible crime. A twisting tale of swift island justice that was just beginning. So was the intricate puzzle of the lives of the four men in question, and the truth of what really happened during Lois McMillen's tragic final hours.
