A View to Die for (Butterfly Island Mysteries Book 1)

“Welcome to Butterfly Island! Enjoy our sandy beaches, sapphire blue waters, and achingly beautiful sunsets. We can’t wait to welcome you to the safest and most relaxing destination in the Caribbean . . .”

Paul Gumbs can’t wait for his next chapter to begin. After several years serving as security chief aboard the Adventurous Spirit cruise ship, he’s been hired as the newest member of the Butterfly Island Police Department. For Paul, there’s never been a better time to put down roots. With his beloved Kameron Achebe at his side, and with a baby on the way, he’s eager to settle into his new home and become a part of the community.

When a wealthy painter is murdered at the luxurious Londonian hotel, Paul and his new partner Andrew Kim take on the case. Their boss, Commissioner Yarbury, is quick to insist that Butterfly Island has very little crime. But as Paul’s about to discover, his new home is not the mellow paradise pictured on the tourist brochures . . .

A View to Die for is the first installment in the Butterfly Island Cozy Mysteries, a charming new spinoff series from the Ellie Tappet Cruise Ship Mysteries.
