I never really got into this short novella, mostly because so many things didn't make sense.  I don't know anything about Hawaii except what I've seen on television, but the author's take on Hawaiian culture seemed to be a little one-dimensional.  I also didn't get how somebody with such poor detective skills could possibly make a living as a detective.  Being a private detective is all about working on computers and doing research - the only trick this girl knows is literally acting like a trick . . . dressing up in a skimpy outfit and asking prostitutes if they've seen the person she is looking for.  And at every turn, she runs into "Aloha Pete," her native love, the police detective who isn't given the dignity of a last name.There are better mysteries out there and better romances out there - probably some set in Hawaii too.
