Waiting on Wednesday (on Friday) @ 9:37 PM
This is my first "Waiting On" Wednesday entry. I figured that I should participate in some activities, because I don't exactly post reviews that much, and I don't want you guys to think that I don't care about my blog.
So here goes my first entry:
Death by Bikini-Linda Gerber
Aphra Behn Connolly has the type of life most teenage girls envy. She lives on a remote tropical island and spends most of her time eavesdropping on the rich and famous. The problem is that her family's resort allows few opportunities for her to make friends-much less to meet cute boys. So when a smoldering Seth Mulo arrives with his parents, she's immediately drawn to him. Sure, he's a little bit guarded, and sure his parents are rather cold, and okay he won't say a word about his past, but their chemistry is undeniable. Then a famous rock star's girlfriend turns up dead on the beach-strangled by her own bikini top-and alarm bells sound. Is it too great a coincidence that Seth's family turned up just one day before a murder? As the plot thickens, Aphra finds that danger lurks behind even the most unexpected of faces. . .
Why do I want to read this?
I have only heard good things about this book, and it's towards the top of my TBR list. I haven't read any other books by Linda Gerber, so I'm hoping that this one will give me a good impression (which I'm almost positive it will
I never really got into mysteries when I was younger, but I've been looking into a lot of mysteries to read this year. If anybody has any other recommendations on good mysteries please don't hesitate to tell me!
