The Last Train to Key West by Chanel Cleeton
4.0

This is the third book I have read by Chanel Cleeton. I like the way she describes Cuba and the Florida Keys. Key West is one of my happy places and it was a treat to hear it described pre-WWII and the tourist boom.

The hurricane of 1935 still ranks as one of the worst to ever make landfall in the US. The female characters in this book appear to be 'damsels in destress' but prove otherwise. The males are the strong silent types and live up to that description.

WWI veterans were screwed by the government when they returned home from fighting The Great War and were screwed again by the government when they went to work on the railroad. Some things never change.
