What happens when someone isn't born with a silver spoon in their mouth, moves into an elite Black community? Drama!!
Manicured lawns, palatial mansions, and luxurious cars are the pleasures of the African-American elite of Coca Beach. A secluded haven in the Hamptons, its residents are born into money or acquires it from hard work and are the snobbiest of snobs. So when TuSmArt, a well-known rapper with millions, decides to move into the biggest mansion of Coca Beach, the residents become nervous.
TuSmArt and his family do not receive a favorable welcome from the residents. He knows because he is a rapper, they assume he will be nothing but trouble. To prove them wrong, he hosts a yacht party to bring the two worlds together. As the party is in full swing, a dead body is found floating next to the yacht. Quickly, an investigation begins and one of Coco Beach’s rich and famous may be the murderer.
Drama, murder, and suspense are the main ingredients which makes MURDER IN THE HAMPTONS come to life. An interesting, exciting plot with realistic characters offering great potential; however, the book soars in the beginning, plummets in the middle and slowly gains momentum in the end.
