Noticed that someone was annoyed with a misspelled Hawaiian word.  I didn't notice that one, but if I had I would probably have cussed the editor out, silently.What Bassett does is write like she is someone who knows Maui.  I spent a few years in Honolulu in the sixties, spent a bit of time on Maui--hiked through Haleakala, visited friends who lived there.  The language isn't quite right for having been written in the sixties (duh!) but it sure sounds like it's fine for 30 plus years later.  As are the people. And I like the plots.  All of which make for five-star books for me.There are plenty of people who decide to visit somewhere exotic and count the trip as an expense on their income tax.  Those authors rarely get things right, even if they make their lead characters visitors,  Hawaii is a favorite location for this, although I've read a couple set in Nashville, where I've also lived. So I was delighted to find this series.
