Two Headed Snake of Key West Liz Adams Mysteries edition by Marilyn Dalla Valle Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks
A fast-moving tale with lots of unexpected developments that succeeded in keeping my interest throughout. The three different plot lines were brought together with aplomb and the final, pivotal twist was well executed and provided a satisfying ending to this light-hearted adventure story with a dash of romance.The story opens in a luxurious home in Virginia. Margaret, a wealthy but much neglected wife, has planned a 15th wedding anniversary intimate dinner that, she hopes, will rekindle the love she still feels for her business tycoon husband. Edward, on the other hand, is seemingly so wrapped up in his wheeling and dealing that he once again lets her down. The romantic get-away that was to follow is now also in jeopardy. It is the last straw and Maggie feels she cannot take any more. Heart-broken but determined to reclaim some of her independence, she looks at the packed suitcases and decides to run away alone. At the airport, on a whim, she buys a ticket for Key West and on disembarking bumps into a handsome young man who affects her strangely.
The adventure that follows takes the reader to a remote and secret compound that would feel right at home in a James Bond movie, and to the picturesque harbour-side community of Conch Harbor, in Key West.
Marilyn dalla Valle has created characters that come to life through lively dialogue, putting the reader very much in the heart of the action. There is a good range of personalities but, if I were to find fault, it would be that Marilyn seems to expect her readers to be inattentive and feels the need to lead them a bit much by the nose. Her characters end up being a little one-dimensional and black-and-white. However, this is an intrigue action tale, not a psychological thriller, so for most people who like an undemanding fast read, it might actually be helpful to have things made very clear to them. I just felt that a writer with such skill might risk a bit more ambiguity.
Although Maggie is the protagonist of her own adventure, this is a Liz Adams mystery (the third in the series) and so we soon meet the lady herself, Liz, possibly the most complex character in the book. At 50 something, retired and fancy-free, Liz and her charming husband, Garret, are indulging in the dream of a lifetime sailing their 36-foot sailboat “Sloopy” from their home base of Mystic, Connecticut all the way to the Florida Keys. I loved how the relationship between Liz and Garret is portrayed, they are a real team, full of banter and good-natured bickering but deeply in love. This is as good a depiction of romance between mature adults as I have come across. The rest of the supporting cast are strongly portrayed and make for interesting interactions with the main characters.
The marine setting demands the use of many technical terms that reflect the author's love of the sea and sailing but for me the specific descriptions only added to the realism of the story. I feel this novel fully deserves five stars because of the excellent balance between action, dialogue and character development and the fact that it successfully stands alone, although it is part of a series. That in itself is a delicate skill. This book's great strength is that it is suitable for the widest audience. There is murder, some violence, discreet references to sex both hereto and homo and adultery, but it is so delicately handled that I can't imagine anyone being upset by any of the content. A thoroughly charming and enjoyable tale that has left me wanting to read more Liz Adams mysteries.

Two Headed Snake of Key West Liz Adams Mysteries edition by Marilyn Dalla Valle Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks Reviews
This is the third in the Liz Adams series.
I thoroughly enjoyed the entire series.
The author Marilyn Dalla Valle makes you feel as if you are right there with the characters. The visuals she provides are amazing.
This book will keep you guessing right up until the end and then bam it hits you like a ton of bricks, a totally unexpected ending.
I can not wait to see if a fourth book will be released. I read this entire book in two days because I could not put it down!!
Thank you to the author who provided the full series for the review.
"Two Headed Snake of Key West" is the perfect book to bring on your summer or any other vacation.
The series protagonists, Liz and Garret Adams have a wonderful, respectful relationship with each other. The fact that Liz has some psychic abilities is just one more thing that makes Garret enjoy his unique wife. In this story, they decide to sail from their home base of Mystic, Connecticut to Key West, Florida in search of adventure.
Once they dock in Key West, the fun begins. The reader discovers a group of well described, interesting characters. Meg is attempting to escape from her autocratic, abusive husband. Jonathan, a friend of the Adams' is trying to understand how the man he loves can be interested in someone else, and a woman to boot. Miguel, Jonathan's boyfriend is attempting to work a scam that will generate enough money to keep him in his playboy life.
I won't say more about the novel because I don't want to reveal plot. However,the mystery is light-hearted and a fun read. I also enjoyed the description of Key West and that of the Basilica of St. Mary, Star of the Sea.
I received this novel in return for an honest review.
