The pace of the novel can be slow at times, and the frequent shifting between past and present events may muddle the plot for some. Jamie and Gabe also voice their angst a hint too much as they reflect on what they did or didn't do in times of crisis. But "The Paradise Guest House," while crafted around a horrific event, is a good-hearted book, respectful of its subject matter. And with well-drawn, genuinely likable lead characters, it takes readers on an edgy island adventure over memorable emotional terrain. ___ Online:
