Running roughshod over his delicate sensibilities, Theo Bloomer's bridge tournament-bound sister bullies him into taking his WASP niece Dorrie and five college chums on a Jamaican vacation. The constant sniping among Dorrie, her intended Biff, friends Bitsy and Sandy, The sexy Mary Margaret and her cross-dressing twin, Trey, proves quite exhausting to that gentle botanist Uncle Theo, who positively longs to sneak off into the brush in search of wild orchids. Back in paradise, the pool boy is found face down in the water after drinking rum laced with deadly, unripe ackee, and Mary Margaret is held for ransom by kidnappers so desperate they drop the price after 24 hours. Can Theo solve this mystery and rescue that Mary Margaret from the kidnappers? Read this book and find out.
