Death on a Cliff

About the book

Author Rosalie Spielman presents the ideal summer escape...

Previously wealthy socialite Kiki Hepburn is happily adjusting to her new life with her newfound family in Aloha Lagoon, Hawaii. She works at the Aloha Lagoon Dive Shop, resides in a cottage in Auntie Akamai’s backyard, and is getting to know the charming diving instructor Dex much better.

However, everything changes when Dex’s old friend and former football team member, “Tiny” Anelo, returns to Aloha Lagoon to celebrate becoming an NFL draft pick. Tiny is accompanied by a group of people, but not all of them are his well-wishers – especially his ex-girlfriend, Delany. Despite the lack of warm welcome for her, Kiki is taken aback when Delany’s lifeless body is discovered in a meadow atop a steep cliff.

It is evident that someone has committed a murder. And when Kiki unintentionally furnishes the police with evidence that incriminates Tiny as the culprit, Dex implores her to assist his friend. It is a plea she cannot refuse, even though the list of individuals who desired Delany's demise seems never-ending. With a shady sports agent, a fan turned obsessive “best friend,” and a former university professor in the mix, Kiki is inundated with potential motives. The situation becomes even more complex when a second body is found, accompanied by a mysterious clue in the form of a Hermes handbag. As time runs out and the authorities draw near, Kiki finds herself in a precarious position...can she stay afloat long enough to apprehend the murderer?
