Trouble in Paradise by Lyle Howard


Trouble in Paradise:
A Thrilling Supernatural Mystery ebook
By Lyle Howard
 


 
This thrilling novel written by Lyle Howard is one of the best mysteries I have had the chance to read this year.  It is all about an ex military man called Cal who decided to spend his days running a bar on an island trying to escape the horrors of his past.  He saves the life of a local deputy called Arthur and they become fast and long time friends.  The two of them take turns in looking after Cal's father who drinks himself to ruin every night to ease the pain of loosing his wife to cancer.  One night a mysterious ship ties up on Cal's dock behind his bar and a beautiful girl and her strange farther turn up and create more than a lot of interest.  Cal's father goes missing along with a local playboy and his girlfriend.  This starts of chain of events that will lead the two friends into danger and intrigue.  Cal's past catches up with him and his survival skills prove to save them from certain death.  Sadness, horror and terror rule the day and they have to find a way to save the victims and destroy a government sanctioned plot to stem drug runners. 

Once I started this book I could not put it down.  It is actioned packed and the characters are great.  The friendship between Cal and Arthur is brilliant.   They are constantly ribbing each other and I thought this was so true to life.  The plot to the story was a bit unusual and I was hoping for a bit more romance but it was all good.  The book flowed I thought very well and I keep trying to guess what was going to happen next.  I really liked the ending as the book leaves you wondering and expecting a sequel

This writer knows how to capture his audience.  Not only a talented storyteller but the images that his writing convey transport you to a different country and the possibility that not all the good guys are really the good guys.

I received this book free of charge and am under no obligation to write this review.

PINGKO Digital Kitchen Timer - White https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01LEBG6ZQ https://youtu.be/D7HSj1qOj3g    This little timer from Pingko is a very versatile timer.  It is basically 3 in one.  A clock, a timer that counts up and a timer that counts down.   It is made out of plastic and the buttons that do all the work have been painted with smiley faces which is great and makes the timer look like a fun piece of equipment.  I use this mainly as a clock and a timer for my cooking in the kitchen but this could be used as a stop watch for certain sporting activities or as a timer to set a limit to how much studying you are doing in a night the list is endless.  The maximum timer is set to 99 minutes and 95 seconds. I use this for putting my dinner on at night.  I set the down timer for 45 minutes or whatever it says on the item that I am cooking,  Take the timer off the retractable stand and use the magnet on the back to stick it on the fridge.  Then after a hard day at work I

PINGKO 3D Carabiner Walking Pedometer Best Activity Fitness Tracker    https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01LQ3JCR6 https://youtu.be/-5bHukE36bA   This Pedometer from Pingko is a very sensitive piece of equipment.  It has imperial or metric settings and has an accelerometer step counting function which is meant to be used for continuous walking exercise.  When I first had this I thought I could clip the carabiner onto something like trousers or a bag and start walking and it would count my steps.  This little machine is far more complicated than I expected.  You cant just do that.  This is so sensitive that if you break your walking with say a car journey this pedometer is used to measure acceleration and I found it counted the movement of my car as steps.  It comes with instructions on how to set it up and upon first glance I was mortified.  Saying that, they were quite easy to follow so I had a go.  I found the buttons on the back a bit awkward to use as I have long nails bu
