Hard Boiled

Aloha Chicken Mysteries Series, Book 3

De: Josi Avari

Narrado por: Angie Hickman

Hens and homicides in a cozy slice of paradise.

Saffron Skye can see color like nobody else. What she can't see is how a hardboiled detective in a fedora ends up on her Hawaiian egg farm and how she ends up in Honolulu's historic Iolani Palace.

Money's gone missing from the Friends of Hens fundraiser. Money that was meant to help care for some of Hawaii's feral chickens. Now Saffron's on the trail with just a wing and a prayer.

It's gonna be rough, see, as Saffron faces off with the toughest criminals on the island. Scatter in a handful of wild chicken activists and a jazzy nightclub right out of the roaring 20s, and Saffron is bound to ruffle some feathers.

4 stars

Hard Boiled is an entertaining cozy mystery, however, I was a bit frustrated by the authors attempt to build suspense by getting to a tense moment and then including al lot of unnecessary descriptions to slow things down. Mano is a very important part of this series and I hope he returns in the next book. It would be even better if Keahi comes back as well.

Great installment in a great cozy mystery series!

5 stars for a fun, intelligent, and well rounded cozy mystery. Full of Hawaiian culture and traditions, colors, food, family and friendship. Kept me guessing until the end. I’ve loved every book in the series so far and plan to read more books in the series!
