Hallo-Waiian Murder Mystery

About the book

Author Rosalie Spielman brings us a spooky tale of murder in paradise with her latest book...

It's Kiki Hepburn's first Halloween spent in Aloha Lagoon, and she's not sure what to expect. Between her job at the bustling Aloha Lagoon Dive Shop and living with the quirky Auntie Akamai, life is always full of surprises. But discovering the lifeless body of Auntie Akamai's dear friend, Celine Suzuki, was definitely not on Kiki's radar! And when Homicide Detective Ray arrives on the scene, Kiki is certain that this was no accident - it's a cold-blooded murder.

Now, all of Auntie Akamai's close friends are potential suspects in the crime. Could it be Oliana Harris, the Pineapple Princess and heiress to a pineapple empire? Or perhaps Margaux La Roux, a recent transplant from New Orleans? Maybe Stella Keawe, the nosy neighbor with a penchant for spreading gossip? All of them seem to be acting strangely and harboring secrets. But are those secrets worth killing for?

To make matters more complicated, Kiki's parents are eager for her to bring her handsome diver boyfriend, Dex, home for the holidays. However, Kiki is unsure about the whole situation - including how Dex feels about it. Instead of embracing the Hawaiian Autumn festivities, Kiki finds herself diving deep into a world of poisonous plants, an eccentric animal shelter, a prickly pineapple plantation, and a Halloween wedding with a zombie theme. With danger lurking at every turn, will Kiki unravel the mystery in time to enjoy her Halloween treats? Or will this year's celebration take a sinister turn that Kiki may not survive?
