"If you like the MIss Fortune series, you'll love Kat and her clue crew on Maui!" Reviewer The coconut wireless is always humming in Ohia, Maui-and the latest topic of gossip is me, Kat Smith.I'm Secret Service, not Postal Service-but I feel like a criminal when I'm appointed postmaster to a cozy little village on Maui. Turns out I've stolen a well-earned promotion from beloved Auntie Pua Chang, who's been there forever-when all I want to do is hide out in paradise until the witch hunt to kill my career is over. I haven't been in Ohia a day when Tiki the post office cat brings a prize to my doorstep-a piece of the woman who had the job before me. I'm thrust into the middle of a murder mystery, and if I don't help solve it, I might be next. A fortune-telling general store owner, a hunky Hawaiian pilot, my cat Tiki, and a couple of well-meaning cops named Lei and Pono seem to want to help-but they're Auntie Pua supporters, and she'd be happy to see the last of me. This Hawaii village has more factions than a Mafia convention in Vegas, and I'm on my own tracking a killer with only a grumpy cat for backup."Lighter, less intense than than the other Paradise Crime series, but just as engaging."
