Toby Neal is an excellent writer and her stories are fast-paced, well-plotted, and genuinely outstanding.  This volume is like a fast train, it never slows down and will keep you on the edge of your seat!Protagonist police officers and newly married couple Lei and Stevens have action-filled adventures separately and together in this novel.  The storyline involves damage to cultural artifacts as well as two murders to solve, but the emotional  threads of the book are several and include the nature of family and community, profound loss and rebirth,  and the healing nature of love and commitment.  Author Neal is a practicing psychologist and her deep understanding of anguish and redemption shine throughout this book as in all of her works.The backdrop of Hawaiian daily life and culture, the beauty of the islands, and fully developed highly functional and layered relationships, all come together to make this book, and the entire series and companion novels, a wonderful experience for the reader.  I highly recommend this book and author.
