Publisher's summary

Most people flee to Hawaii for gorgeous weather, white-sand beaches, and cocktails at sunset. Charlotte Gibson, however, is fleeing for her life after a vengeful mobster leaves a severed finger on her doorstep as a warning. Message very much received.

That’s how Charlotte - Charlie to everyone except her mom - finds herself on Maui with six dollars to her name, living with a mother who can’t stop giving her advice on how to land herself a husband. But when a businessman is murdered and his company offers a reward to whoever finds the killer, Charlie sees an opportunity: with that kind of cash, she could afford her own place and start a new life here away from the people who want her dead. After all, how hard can hunting down a murderer be?

Teaming up with a couple of old ladies with more spunk than Betty White, Charlie is sure she’s on the right track to snag the reward money. However, the infuriating-but-smoldering-hot cop trying to keep her away from his case has other ideas. Throw in a day job at an ice cream shop, corrupt local politicians, and a best friend trying to act as the voice of reason, and Charlie has her work cut out for her.

Will she be able to find the killer, or is Charlie’s time in paradise going to go straight to hell in a handbasket?

The development of characters with humor and poignancy

Good pace for storyline; kept listener engaged. Ready for the next installment of the series.

I was good…

I found myself wondering off and not listening to it and usually these kinds of books don’t do that for me. Not sure what it was, but it was an enjoyable book to listen too.

Hooked

Can’t wait to continue the adventures of Charlie and her cadre of worthy and brilliant accomplices

Clever and Engaging

Loved the vivid characters and clever dialogue. Aloha Alibi is very witty and well written. Looking forward to more of this series.

Fun mystery!

What a fun mystery! Plenty action and great characters. I'm looking forward to listening to the next book in this series

One Excellent Read!

The tenacity of Dot and Rose is just great. The story line was excellent it kept you one your toes.

Very good

I got into the characters fast and liked the story everyone would like it a lot

Too much fun!

Hawai'i, cozy-mystery, island-life, contemporary, multigenerational, murder, murder-investigation, situational-humor, verbal-humor, dachshunds, large-reward, senior-sleuths, stalker*****

Is it OK to mention that halfway into the book I got the free visual so I could get the audio at a discount (I have visual issues)?
This is a positive laugh riot! The sleuthing is good but fun, the romance thing is more about Charlie's mother saying way too embarrassing things to the police detective thinking he would soon be her grandchildren's father. It opens with an unexpected murder in Seattle then moves to an unwitnessed murder on Maui shortly after Charlie met him at her new job. Add in a $1 million reward for solution to the case, a pair of determined senior sleuths, a pair of police detectives, and getting tasered. Besides the great characters, her dog is a dachshund/golden retriever! Excellent read!
I requested and received a free ebook copy from BooksGoSocial via NetGalley. THANK YOU!
On the other hand, the narrator of the audio was a great disappointment.

Fun read

I enjoyed while driving. Kept me calm driving thru storm. I would certainly recommend for young adults as well.

laugh out loud

I fell for the characters not so much the story line. but it pulled me in as the story line developed
