It Takes Two to Mango

Trouble in Paradise!

By: Carrie Doyle

Narrated by: Elizabeth Cottle

After Plum Lockhart's job as a travel magazine editor is eliminated in corporate cuts, she decides she's sick of cold winters in NYC and fruitless swiping on dating apps - what she needs is a dramatic change of scenery. On a whim, she accepts a job as a villa broker and moves to a beautiful Caribbean island.

However, paradise isn't as perfect as it seems: The slow pace of island life, the language barrier, and a cutthroat office rival make Plum question leaving her old life behind. But when a client is found dead in the jacuzzi of Casa Mango - a property Plum manages - she knows she's really in a jam. With a killer loose on the island, Plum will have to deal with a stonewalling police chief, a string of baffling clues, and a handsome director of security to solve this deadly case!

5 Stars

It Takes Two to Mango is an entertaining cozy mystery with engaging characters and an entertaining plot. I highly recommend this book.

Plot / character development

Doyle has a warm and authentic writing style. Story is engaging! Found myself drawn into the characters’ lives right from the start.
Vacay read for sure…
romance-esque novel…combines good plot with well-developed characters! Worth considering!

The main characters narcissism is a bit much.

I don't typically write reviews, but the main character's narcissistic, entitled, and snobbish behavior is a bit much to listen to. I'm only a few chapters in, so I'm hoping there is going to be some growth as Plum realizes that the world does not revolve around her. If not, I don't think I can finish this book even though with the exception of the main character, it is well written and the narrator does a wonderful job.
