The second book in the Helga Rolfe series, Helga travels from Zurich to meet her husband in Haiti. Herman Rolfe has grown suspicious of her and has hired a private detective to watch her. From here, the story takes thrilling twists and turns, and once again, Helga ends up triumphant.I actually liked the characters in this book. Helga is far more sympathetic than in the previous book. Rolfe's daughter is interesting, along with a couple of other characters. There is a lot of racism, at times even unpalatable. It seems to be a staple of this genre. The plot is interesting, but you absolutely have to suspend disbelief with the voodoo and black magic stuff.
