Maybe I've read enough of Beatriz Williams books that I just can kinda see the formula behind them. Don't get me wrong, I still find them to be enjoyable reads. While Nassau in the 1940s is an interesting setting and while some of the true events of the place were weaved in, I was a little soured by it being glamourized at some points. Williams included some of the history that made it more realistic, but considering it was place and time full of nazi sympathizers... it didn't feel like enough.
LOL, what?
There are some good things about this book - the historical research, the writing - and some crazy things, like the plot.
