Homicide in Hawaii: An Emily Swift Travel Mystery - Paperback

by Lorrie Holmgren (Author)

Travel writer Emily Swift looks forward to a tranquil, romantic trip to Hawaii with her boyfriend Jack. It'll be a snap to write about the breathtakingly beautiful Hawaiian Islands--especially with a college friend who lives in Waikiki as her guide. But Emily's hopes are dashed when her friend Amanda's dead body is found in an ancient Hawaiian ritual site. Who would kill a woman whose friends describe her as "saint like"? Emily uses her reporter's skills to find out. Did Amanda discover her husband's philandering? Who is the father of Amanda's adopted Native Hawaiian godchild Kari? Why was Amanda obsessed by her family's role in the history of Hawaii? What secrets lurk in old letters and photos? As Emily delves into the past to find the killer, she finds herself in danger. Finally, she realizes that the murderer is closer than she thinks--and a Hawaiian tourist spot may prove to be her grave as well as Amanda's.
