Ever wonder what would happen if you hid a body in flowing hot lava? Well I have a book for you…
Valerie Corbin and her wife Kristen have their Hawai’i vacation shaken up when a body is seen almost completely covered in lava. With the evidence now gone, Valerie decides to start an investigation of her own with the help of friendly island locals.
I’ve always wanted to visit Hawai’i, but I respect the locals’ request enough to settle for a fictional trip through any books and tv shows I can find! This book is no exception, with its colorful Hawai’ian dialogue, tourist attractions, and delicious cuisines. The author has even included recipes at the end! I’d love to give one or two a try.
The murder mystery is very cozy, and I found myself enjoying the Nancy Drew-like sleuthing. It’s fun, tropical, and heartwarming.
Thank you to NetGalley and Severn House for this ARC.
