Yep, the book is by Robert B. Parker but both synopses are nonsense.  (I 
checked on amazon.com and found 7 books by different authors called 'Trouble in 
Paradise'.) Anyway, I put in more relevant synopses.

Thanks for catching this!  Carrie

Hi 
Maithe,

You're 
right 
about 
there 
being 
something 
wrong 
here!  
Both 
synopsis 
are 
nonsense 
for 
the 
book 
in 
the 
collection.  
You 
had 
me 
worried 
when 
you 
mentioned 
it 
wasn't 
Robert 
Parker, 
as 
I'm 
a 
fan 
of 
his 
work 
and 
I'd 
downloaded 
the 
book, 
but 
I 
hadn't 
gotten 
to 
it 
yet.  
I 
took 
a 
look 
at 
it, 
and 
the 
book 
is 
definitely 
one 
of 
Parker's.
I 
think 
perhaps 
whoever 
validated 
it 
should 
be 
a 
bit 
more 
careful 
when 
they're 
doing 
the 
synopsis, 
and 
I 
hope 
they 
didn't 
pull 
the 
synopsis 
verbatim 
from 
somewhere 
else.
Hopefully, 
one 
of 
the 
staff 
has 
followed 
this 
thread 
and 
will 
ditch 
the 
synopsis.  
If 
not 
we 
can 
bring 
it 
to 
their 
attention.

Dave
