The Judge's Wife Book

Jacinta "JJ" Joseph is a tough New Jersy homicide detective who retires to her native St. Theresa, expecting something of a vacation—sipping fruity drinks with little paper umbrellas—that sort of thing. Instead she gets involved in solving four murders with the help of Oni, a Carib Indian grandmother. Together they take on the forces that dominate the island.

This is a story of romance, mystery and comedy. You'll enjoy JJ's struggles to adjust to island life after so many years in the US. From the frenetic pace of New Jersey with a Starbucks on every corner, to a village life of cocoa tea, dogs sleeping undisturbed on the main street, and monkeys who fling feces, JJ slowly comes to terms with her new life, with her true self, finding love and a sense of family in the process.

This is the second novel in the Jacinta Joseph Caribbean Adventures trilogy. JJ finds some powerful allies in the island's grandmothers and decides to start a revolution, grandmother style.
