Quirky Tales from the Caribbean takes the cozy mystery formula to the U.S. Virgin Islands. Rebecca M. Hale uses the island setting for all its worth: small communities where everyone knows everyone, tropical weather that can turn a day upside down, and the particular quirks of island life. Ode to a Fish Sandwich (2013) kicks off the series with a title that tells you exactly how light the tone will be.

The three books blend local flavor with mystery, staying firmly in cozy territory. Hale writes with obvious affection for the Caribbean, and the islands feel lived-in rather than postcard-perfect.
