Ruby Steele, 30, beautiful, fit, seems just like any other ex-pat hiding out in the Bahamas and playing local bartender. But unruly patrons find out the hard way: Ruby is a mixed-martial-arts pro, and not one you’d want to cross.
Ruby’s known for making friend in bad places. And her newest friend, a bouncer at the brothel next door, is no exception. When he comes to her with a sob story, she can’t turn away.
When that story turns to a body he found this morning, Ruby sits up straighter.
When it turns out that body belonged to a trafficked teenaged girl, Ruby’s sense of justice is lit.
Ruby’s gotta solve this one, for her own need to set wrongs right.
Problem is, the cops don’t care, and this case will surely take her to some bad places, and up against some bad people. That may just include a billionaire with his own private yacht—and his own private army.
It’s not like Ruby doesn’t have an army of her own coming after her.
The last thing Ruby needs right now is a two-front war.
But it looks like that’s exactly what she’s going to get.
No one said Ruby’s judgement was good.
Then again, if it was, she wouldn’t be hiding out in the Bahamas, tending bar, with a monkey on her shoulder and an enemy list a mile long.
Welcome to the Bahamian world of Ruby Steele, replete with her local dive bar, her wily pet monkey, her major drinking problem, her (way) too many fights, her inability to get herself out of trouble, and her fists made of stone. Ruby’s life is a complete wreck. But there’s one thing she’s good at: capturing your heart.
FULL BODIED (A RUBY STEELE MYSTERY) is book #3 in a page-turning mystery/thriller series, one that will linger with you long after the last page is read.

E anche per quest'anno mi sono fatta la mia dose di scazzottate alle Bahamas con Ruby Steele. Questa volta la barista - ora astemia - esperta di arti marziali indaga sulla morte di una prostituta che viene catalogata come overdose, ma che il buttafuori del bordello possa essere un vero e proprio omicidio. La ragazza, però, era un'albanese vittima della tratta, sfuggita ai suoi aguzzini, ma finita nel bordello di Nassau per potersi ripagare il viaggio di ritorno in Albania. E l'assassino sembra essere un ricco cocainomane di cui Ruby non riesce a trovare le tracce. Un uomo che probabilmente non è al suo primo omicidio di una prostituta, ma purtroppo l'ha passata liscia a causa della corruzione della polizia e del medico legale di Nassau. E questa volta Ruby ha il sostegno del suo allenatore, Lenny e del suo sparring-partner, Axel, nelle scazzottate. I due, infatti, sono entrati illegalmente alle Bahamas pur di verificare che Ruby stia bene. Inoltre, questa volta Ruby ha l'appoggio del detective Anderson, il capo della omicidi, che sospetta che la corruzione nella polizia di Nassau abbia superato ogni limite.
Non so ancora se concluderò la serie quest'anno, sono indecisa... -

Loved this entire series
Ruby is a kickass ex MMS champion who attracts trouble. The local have decided she is an investigator, the King has decided she will brainchild fight for him. As she solves crimes the local police cover up, her assorted friends help look. Out for her. Never a dull moment with an alcoholic monkey to top it off. -
I'm honestly enjoying this series more than I thought I would.
Following Ruby whilst she is hiding from the American government & random assassins, whilst also solving the large amount of murders that keep occurring where she is living is very addictive. -
This cozy mystery takes no prisoner Ruby is fearless and willing to kick some heads in to get to the truth of the matter, but she still has a heart of gold.
