Salome Smythe*

Salome Smythe has a few quirks that make her unique. She thinks that she has 'The Gift' passed down from her Romanian Grandmother but isn't sure how she is supposed to use it or if it's even real. When it works it works well and she wonders if this is something that will help her in her job and her love life. Sometimes, however, 'The Gift' brings more than she expects. Salome, who is bright and talented, works in a detective agency. When Salome and her mother go on a Caribbean cruise, a theft of a very valuable item occurs and she finds herself in the middle of an investigation that turns her life around. She meets Devon, the handsome and charming Englishman who shows her that there might be romance in her future. Working to solve a difficult mystery Salome is thrown into an unexpected adventure. This is a fun romantic mystery written in Salome's own words to her future self (as she puts it) or some unknown reader. She is blunt, honest and passionate as she recounts a series of unusual events that are not only baffling but sometimes dangerous, sometimes embarrassing and always memorable.
