ALOHA ALIBI by Jasmine Webb, Narrated by Khristina Hvam

If you’re looking for someone a bit smarter and more ethical than that Plum woman, yet still getting into entertaining scrapes through (usually) no fault of her own, slip on your flipflops and bring along your beach hat for this lively skedaddle between Maui’s high-rise tourist hotels and the long, low bungalows where the locals live. 

After an unfortunate encounter with a local gangster and the subsequent arrival of a gory and suggestive ‘gift’ on her doorstep, Charlotte ‘Charley’ Gibson flees the mainland for the Hawaiian island she left a decade ago. 

Even worse, due to lack of funds she must move into her mom’s spare bedroom, a situation that makes any adult cringe. 

She immediately lands a job to start saving for rent, but murder intervenes on her very first day. 

Soon she’s up to her neck in dubious suspects and even more questionable allies, including a delightful pair that make this new series a great gift choice for seniors as well as thirty-somethings. The subsequent investigation is fast-paced, fun, sometimes scary, but fully believable, and the narration is sharp and sassy, well suited to Charley’s breezy attitude. 

It’s like a Hawaiian vacation in a novel, an exciting escape from gray, cold Canada, an enjoyable listen for any commute.

 I received this audiobook from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.
