Also details on Kohala town, driving around the Big Island are "spot on" (and makes me less homesick for my "hometown"). Great job all the way around and am looking forward to next book in the series!!

I am always on the look out for books on Hawaii. When I discovered the first book of the series I was delighted. Just learned he has a new one coming out and I plan to get it. He has good descriptions of Hawaii and you learn a little of the culture as well. Entertaining.
