Jeanine is spending Christmas with her father’s fiancé, Margo and her family on an island. It turns out that Margo is the descendant of a pirate and plenty of people are after the long lost treasure, and when Margo’s nephew is killed and a storm isolates the island and its inhabitants, it appears that someone is willing to do anything to possess the plundered booty.

When Jeanine Adorabelle Talbot and her family agree to spend Christmas with her father's rich girlfriend, Margo on Margo's family's private island, Jeanine doesn't have a clue what she's in for. While getting Christmas decorations, a note is found that was written by Margo's ancestor--a genuine pirate. Before you know it, Margo ends up with a shark bite--she says she was pushed into the water and her nephew's dead body is found. A big storm is brewing, the electric goes out, and everyone is forced to huddle together with a killer on the loose.

I know it's past Christmas, but this book was one I had wanted to read and I'm glad I did. I loved that the author is a Christian, who filled her book to overflowing with references to Christianity, and how the family relied on the Lord every day. I also appreciated reading about the legend of the Christmas tree. I've never heard that story before.

I highly recommend this book.

This book was very entertaining. I wasn't sure about the mystery part of it at first, but as the book progressed, I was drawn in to it. I was interested in the history about Anne Bonney, It seemed out of place to have that story line with the mystery, but it seems to work. I couldn't put it down!

Loved it! Terrific mystery!!

I am not usually a reader of anything but romance, however the description of this book drew me in and I knew I had to see what the mystery was. It did not disappoint!

Loved the story! Loved the characters! Liked the story flow. Throw in a mystery! Great read! Given copy for honest review.
