First of all, Southernmost Murder contains one of my favorite sentences in recent memory:
The murder mystery is really well-done and kept my interest every page of the way, and I was really surprised at the reveal. In addition, the historical mystery about Captain Smith is heartbreaking and beautifully revealed throughout the book.
Also, I sorta like how Aubrey and Jun's relationship isn't the entire focus of the story. They are still figuring things out (and deliciously discovering that Jun definitely enjoys Aubrey taking the lead) and I loved how understanding and matter-of-a-fact Jun is about Aubrey's narcolepsy. My only complaint is I would have liked Jun's POV rather than just Aubrey's. 4.5 stars.

First of all, Southernmost Murder contains one of my favorite sentences in recent memory:
"And since I was the property manager to one of the most important historical attractions on the island, basically everyone knew of the dick-loving narcoleptic who drove a pink Vespa."I love how all the elements of this story come together so effortlessly: Aubrey is anxiously awaiting the arrival in Key West of Jun Tanaka, his former boyfriend Matt's FBI partner. They are on the cusp of starting a relationship and plan to spend the next two weeks having hot sex and sightseeing, emphasis on hot sex. But a skeleton found in a false closet plus a murder at the Smith House derails their plans and results in an investigation that goes all the way back to the 1800s and Captain Smith, who may or may not be the celebrated pirate One-Eyed Jack.
