A Chinese New Year Scavenger Hunt…and two Murders?
Returning to journalism with an island-wide entertainment magazine, Natalie Seachrist and her boyfriend private investigator Keʻoni Hewett are delighted to plunge into the first Annual Aloha Scavenger Hunt during Chinese New Year with friends from the mainland. But when she realizes a recent haunting dream is actually one of her continuing visions of murder and mayhem, the pair again volunteer to help his former partner, Honolulu Police Department’s Homicide Detective Lieutenant John Dias. Soon Natalie’s expanding visions and the unrelenting assistance from their feline companion Miss Una link two murders separated by sixty years to a mysterious woman dressed in red... and a clue hinting at a priceless white jade Kuan Yin statue.
What Professional Reviewers say
Kirkus Reviews
The author’s bountiful details explore Hawaii’s history and culture, as scavenger hunt clues direct Natalie and Keoni to historical landmarks and the inquiry includes Chinatown in Honolulu…A whodunit as smart and engrossing as the unlikely gumshoe.
Michael Radon, US Book Review 4 stars of 5
The pace of this story naturally transitions from the scavenger hunt and its locales to the identity of the murderer...and gives the reader a grounded perspective before launching them into the action.
Tamara Benson, San Francisco Book Review4 stars of 5
…The descriptions of each destination and the players' race during the scavenger hunt are well done and leave the reader ready to book-travel to see the sights first-hand. ..And, of course, any murder mystery that involves a cat is a winner from the start...
Frank Kaleba, Amazon Book Review 5 stars
A swirling mix of the Asian immigrant experience, a modern scavenger hunt, revenge and murder, all set onto the perfumed tropical stage that is Oahu…As I read it, I was sure I was tagging along with Natalie, enjoying the sights, tastes and excitement of the tropics.
