Death under Palm Trees by Carmen Radtke
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Death under Palm Trees by Carmen Radtke is set in the 1930’s and a classic whodunit story. The story is very well written and intertwines the characters is a way that makes you feel like you are there – watching from the outside, looking in on all that is happening. Jack, Frances and Uncle Sal are the main characters and they, unknowingly, are up for a grand adventure at the villa in Nice. There is no shortage of twists and turns throughout the book and the suspects are limited – ending with an intense reveal kept me on the edge of my seat, page after page. I have to admit – I was thrown off on who I thought was the actual villain!! I have not read any other books by Ms. Radtke but I enjoyed her writing and will certainly be picking up more of her works in the future!! This was definitely a fun read and kept me enthralled from the first page.
