Blurb (from back cover): "Sabrina Dunsweeney desperately needs a job. After moving to isolated Comico Island with her parakeet Calvin to start a new chapter of her life, Sabrina discovers that life in a beautiful, tropical environment isn't all fun and games. When the town council offers her employment as the island's first official ombudsman to cope with the burgeoning tourist influx, Sabrina is thrilled. Her first order of business is to deal with a number of burglaries. But as she digs deeper into the theftless break-ins, she begins to suspect that this mystery has its origins rooted in the rum-soaked days of prohibition.
"Then, Sabrina must face the "Hummers" who have booked a week at one of the local hotels. The Hummers claim that they can hear a hum that no one else can hear, and only by following very private riturals can they rid themselves of the annoying, persistent noise. Then the spokesman of the Hummers is murdered, and Sabrina begins to suspect that the origin of the humming may have an earth-bound-and deadly-source.
"When Sabrina finds herself the target of a killer' rage, she wonders if she will survive her first week on the job..."
Opinion: Lot of subplots to this story. Very easy to read. For a complete review, check out MyShelf.com next month.
