Columbella is by Phyllis A. Whitney. Probably my favorite of all Whitney's massive collection of mystery novels, this is the story of Jessica Abbott, a former school teacher, who is talked into supervising a troubled teen by the family matriarch. The story is set on the island of St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands. It is a wonderful example of the romantic mystery novel of which Phyllis Whitney is the undisputed master. Some adult concepts: murder and adultery, but nothing graphic.
Ratings: 9th grade - 10 out of 10 - AC (adult themed content).
