About this audiobook
In this atmospheric debut mystery, an out-of-work journalist and the homicide detective who broke her heart must cipher out a murder before the clock runs out, perfect for fans of Naomi Hirahara and Jane Pek.
After the newspaper she works for folds and the freelance assignments no longer pay the bills, Maya Wong reluctantly returns to her native Hawaiʻi to ghostwrite controversial land developer Parker Hamilton's biography. But when the Hamilton patriarch is found dead under suspicious circumstances, Maya is unwittingly drawn into the investigation.
Maya’s family and friends aren't happy about her work for Hamilton. And now, with her ex, Detective Koa Yamada, on the case, she’s forced to contend with the very person she was determined to avoid.
All too soon, Maya is dodging assailants and digging for clues while juggling girls’ nights out with her old BFFs and weekly family dinners. Convinced the police are after the wrong man, Maya is determined to stop the killer before it’s too late.
Exploring timely issues in Hawaiʻi, including locals getting priced out of paradise, Ghosts of Waikiki is an engrossing mystery in the vein of The Verifiers.

this, according to information published herein, is the first serious written work from this author, Ms Morita -- I have to say this about that: to me this was an enjoyable read; the characters and the pacing and the complexities of plot were all executed with a professionalism and a creative imagination that will take this newly minted author to heights most likely heretofore unimagined just a short while ago! Bravo! Well Done! Review Copyright 2024. Capillary-ai. Ashland Oregon US of A.
