About the book
From USA Today bestselling author Anne Marie Stoddard comes a fabulously fashionable mystery in paradise...
Following a painful and highly publicized divorce from her unfaithful football star husband, Kaley Kalua is seeking peace and privacy. Packed only with the essentials (clothes, shoes, and makeup) in her Prada duffel bag, Kaley decides to return to her hometown of Aloha Lagoon to run her Aunt Rikki’s clothing store, the Happy Hula Dress Boutique. A fresh job, new friends, and a change of scenery are exactly what she needs to start over. It helps that Kaley’s attractive childhood best friend, Noa Kahele, has also relocated to the quaint resort town.
However, life on the island is not as serene as Kaley had hoped for. Not everyone is thrilled to see her back, particularly Louana, the assistant manager at Happy Hula, who believes she deserves Kaley’s new position. When Louana is discovered strangled by a bikini top from the boutique, the police name Aunt Rikki as their prime suspect. Determined to clear her aunt’s name, Kaley takes matters into her own hands! Juggling a persistent local journalist and facing off against her old high school rival, Kaley devises her own list of potential culprits. In the process, she attracts the attention of a dangerous murderer. If Kaley isn’t careful, she may swap her vibrant wardrobe for funeral attire…
