Molten Death by Leslie Karst is an incredibly detailed and carefully thought through novel based on the volcanic activity that occurred on the Big Island in 2018. It follows Valerie and Kristen, a married couple on a holiday to Hawai'i in order to rebuild their relationship, that soon turns into an exciting yet cosy mystery with lots of lava and a few stolen avocados.

This novel is unique and surprisingly educational, with a few fun recipes and a list of glossary terms in the back.

Thank you so much to Severn House and Netgalley for the advanced reading copy!
