Phoebe Wong would do anything to escape a British winter. But it may cost her more than her airfare.
Sunsets, tacos and margaritas all sound perfect to exhausted forty-three-year-old single mum Phoebe with a dead-end job in Southwark. When her long distance boyfriend in New York invites her to meet him in Florida, she couldn’t wait to jump on a plane with her toddler. Arriving with her teething child at her boyfriend’s Key West ‘vacay home’ before him, she is robbed on her first night. With no money, cards or passports, she is grateful for the support of friendly locals. At a BBQ, she meets an old expat British businessman. Her boyfriend arrives eventually, apologetic, and takes her out to a posh seafood dinner. But when the British expat is shot that night in the same restaurant’s car park, Phoebe is trapped in a put-up job, and her boyfriend’s delayed arrival is suspiciously timed. If this place has turned darker and chillier than London, she wants out.
Will she be able to pull herself and her daughter away from danger?
About the Author

this was a cozy read for me, the perfect cozy mystery book to pick up on vacation (not for the faint-hearted, we do not want to feel uneasy on vacay) because it really sets the mood for me! a very atmospheric book that will keep u on ur toes!
it is less of an investigation and more of a plot unraveling for those of you who wanted to follow along and solve it while u’re reading, it is unlikely that u will accomplish this task, but the twists and the turns are unexpected and it takes context for the plot to fully make sense to you!
overall, i absolutely enjoyed my time reading this and it is an #ownvoices novel! written by a fellow malaysian <3 get this book now!
