Thirty-six-year-old Nina Spark has done something crazy. After knocking back a night’s worth of wine, she’s bought a house in the Caribbean. Off the Internet. At 2:00 a.m.

Committing to the most impulsive decision she’s ever made, Nina leaves her cheating ex-husband behind, puts her teaching career in New York on hold, and moves to Pineapple Cay—a land of white sand, cloudless skies, and turquoise waters.

Her new life is off to a lovely start: she’s got a private beach, a handsome neighbor, and a cushy travel-writing assignment. Even Barry Bassett, a greedy land developer eager to push her out to make way for condos, can’t darken her sunny new outlook.

But when Barry’s wife goes missing, along with a priceless jeweled necklace, Nina finds herself at the center of the island’s biggest whodunit. With her quirky but fiercely loyal new friends, Nina is determined to solve the mystery—so both she and Pineapple Cay can get back to easy living.

Revised edition: This edition of Sunbaked includes editorial revisions.

Review:

"This is the perfect summer comedic mystery. I advise lying on a beach with a fruity cocktail in hand while reading...but a couch and glass of wine will also do." - Blonde...Undercover Blonde Friday Book Club

"Junie Coffey provides readers with the perfect island getaway in this cozy mystery.... I found myself as caught up in the location as in the mystery and I cannot wait to revisit and see just what else Nina and her cohorts can get involved in.... I recommend it to anyone who enjoys a comical, cozy mystery" - Night Owl Reviews

"Nina Spark is the closest thing to a young, contemporary Miss Marple I've come across, and that is good, very very good! ... Ms. Coffey's prose is effortless, fluid, and absolutely flawless; the dialogues are superb, and each character has a distinct voice." - Fresh Fiction
