Set between Cincinnati and the islands of the Bahamas, E. A. Coe has produced a feast of exotic scenery mixed with an intriguing murder and espionage mystery. Teddy Jay was once on the wrong side of wrong, crossing over in his distant past and settling down with a new identity, family, and a thriving banana plantation. But even on the right side of wrong, the entrepreneur draws trouble like a magnet, all in the name of doing good. The Right Side of Wrong is fast-paced and gripped me from the first moment, beginning with the mysterious death of a crew of sailors.
The narration switches between the main characters, each bringing their view to the story. I adored how E. A. Coe portrays Teddy as a reformed criminal. This dovetails his restoration with the theme of redemption, which includes another bad guy, Mas, who finds peace with a simpler life. The plot also cleverly juxtaposes damnation as a secondary theme as the characters switch sides from right to wrong and vice versa. Corporate greed causes good people to cross the line, while those who have made wrong choices eagerly grasp redemption. I appreciated the depiction of strong, successful female characters, many of them leaders. I loved so much about this story, especially the unity within the Tiburon community, which had the least but shared equally among themselves. My favorite quote is by Sam Jenkins: “The bonds among labor groups extend beyond their professional functions as well. They protect each other.” This is a fantastic mystery, action-packed and thrilling, brimming over with exciting plot twists and inevitably leading to justice.
