Handbags & Homicide

About the book

Kaley Kalua is overjoyed when her best friend reveals that she is tying the knot and bringing the pre-wedding festivities to Aloha Lagoon! Serving as the maid of honor, Kaley is eagerly anticipating the arrival of her bride-to-be bestie, Emma - until Emma shows up on the island with some unwelcome companions in her bridal party, including Kaley’s unfaithful ex-husband, Bryan, one of his former mistresses, and his new partner! To add to the chaos, Kaley’s current romance with the resort's attractive lifeguard is on thin ice, and her spanking new handbag disappears after a wild evening celebrating Emma’s bachelorette bash.

Things take a turn for the worse when Bryan’s partner is discovered the following day, deceased and buried in a shallow grave on the resort’s beach - along with Kaley’s vanished bag! Authorities are convinced that Kaley is linked to the woman’s sudden demise. To clear her name and salvage Emma’s nuptial weekend, Kaley must conduct her own investigation. Did her conceited ex-husband murder his own partner? Or did the envious mistress commit the heinous act? As Kaley delves deeper in her quest for the truth, she unravels more secrets and deceit. It becomes evident that someone is desperate to keep their skeletons in the closet. If Kaley isn’t cautious, she may not survive to witness her friend exchange vows.
