I felt like I was watching an episode of Hawaii 5-0 while reading this debut author. 

We have Maya, an ex-reporter going back to Hawaii to be a ghost writer for a land developer. Once she is back in Hawaii, she ends up in the middle of a murder investigation and reconnects with her high school sweetheart who is a detective. 

What I loved about the story is I felt like I was right back home with mentioning local restaurants and traditions. I enjoyed the characters and really loved how the story portrayed how everyone knows everyone in the island. 

I didn't guess the killer and enjoyed how it all tied up. 

I appreciate that that author actually wrote conversations with pidgin since that is 💯 accurate. 

Jennifer Robideau did a great job with the narration with the pronunciation of Hawaiian words as well using pidgin. 

Thank you @crookedlanebooks @netgalley for a copy of the audiobook.
