Murder follows travel agent Lynne Montgomery and her twenty- something daughter Jenna to the Florida Keys on what is supposed to be a simple vacation at a resort recently acquired by old friends. Things have been going wrong at Dos Hermanas Resort - power outages, slashed tires, bleach poured into a tank of exotic tropical fish. When Lynne discovers the body of Darcy Gainsborough on the boat ramp, matters become more complicated. Darcy lived in the adjacent mobile home court and had some secrets of her own.
