This is the 2nd book of the series, but it is the first book that I read.  I don't think it was necessary to read the first book, but I did wish I had more background on Pali and her relationship with Hatch and Farrah.Pali Moon lives on Maui and is a wedding planner.  She does not have a large elaborate company, but gets by doing it on an economic scale.  She gets lucky with an upscale wedding for Keith and Nicole, a couple from California, who want the best that money can buy.  During the pre-wedding activities, one of the bridesmaids is missing and Pali seems to be the only person who is concerned.  To make things worse, Pali discovers a severed pony tail matching the missing girl's hair color.  Pali soon realizes that the engaged couple are not who they seem to be.  Pali gets into trouble with the police and is forced to investigate the missing girl to she is not involved in any illegal activities.The ending of this book is not completely the end of the story as the story continues in the third book of the series, "Lana'i of the Tiger".  I enjoyed the mystery and the location of Maui.
