I was anxious to start this book, after having finished book 2 in the series. I found it very interesting and enjoyed the new characters. I felt there was a great deal of description of Lana'i, and I enjoyed that.I think what some readers might struggle with is that these books are not historical books, hawaiian language books, nor always an exact replica of "real Hawaii". It is fiction after all, and an easy light and enjoyable read. I do not think the author by any means has any negative feelings towards the law enforcement, or culture of Hawaii. In fact, quite the opposite. Being she is so dedicated to writing a series on the islands. That being said, it you take life a little too serious, or are looking for 100 facts, perfect spelling of Hawaiian words, or a real life detective and their works. This is clearly not the book for you. If you are looking to read a lovely book, that sets in tropical breezes, with sounds of birds chirping, sun shining, and rainbows on the mountainside while enjoying a cocktail. These books should entertain and please you.JoAnna Bassett has become one of my favorite authors, and when I think of her, and her books. I think of Hawaii, and vacation. Which is something that sits pretty high on my list.
