Unwinding in Paradise: A Review of "The Cabo Diaries" by Christina Carter

A "Christina Carter Serritella" is active in travel forums (like those for the Caribbean and Mexico), sharing advice on resorts and destinations like Playa del Carmen and Punta Cana. The "Piece":

But Cabo doesn’t let you hide. Cabo watches. The desert meets the sea like a slow collision. Everything here is dramatic—the light, the heat, the margaritas that arrive before you even ask. And the men. God, the men.

Unlike many thrillers where the heroine is a white-hat avenger, Maren Winter is vindictive, jealous, and occasionally cruel. Christina Carter forces the reader to ask a hard question: Do you root for a protagonist simply because she is the narrator? The answer for most readers is an uncomfortable "yes," followed by a wash of guilt during the final reveal.
