I enjoyed the book very much.
I enjoyed reading this book. After I finished reading I was offered two more books by this author and I downloaded them and can’t wait to read.
The entire Lei Crime series is excellent. Recommend reading in the order written as they build on each other.
Excellent read, realistic way people interact, and make decisions, some good, others I’ll informed, just like life!
Light mystery with true-to-life Hawaiian characters and locale

Really enjoying the complete Blood Orchids series.

Loved the setting. As a frequent visitor to Hawaii I really identified with the area and subject matter. Enjoyed the characters
Interesting to learn about the Hawaiian heiau & the strange things people will do to try to preserve history.
Love Toby Neal books
I have yet to read a Toby Neal book that I didn’t love….
I just like these characters. I’ve read several of this writer’s books & I really like them. Good storylines as well.
Really enjoyed this book. I have read the second one of the series also and enjoyed it too. I plan to read all the rest of the series eventually. Love the settings in Hawaii and it’s culture.
I enjoyed this book and will read more from this writer. You learn a little about Hawaii and its people.
Fun to read while visiting Maui!
Graphic language and sex
Awesome novel, Great read, couldn’t put it down.
I have enjoyed many of the books in this series and this one was not disappointing. The characters are very realistic and always manage to get into – and then out of some sticky situations! The author’s knowledge seems very logical for the situations posed. I would recommend this book.
Great read.
