Really fun mystery, the reading experience is one that reminded me of the feeling I had as a child reading Nancy Drew mysteries. So, think Nancy Drew grew up, lived some of the tragedies of life, traveled the world a bit, gathered an excellent best friend, and is now in her 20s taking on all the evils of her home state of Hawai’i. A joy.
This is one of the all time worst covers in the history of paperbacks.
That said, it's a really charming mystery set in Maui in the 1950s with two lady sleuths who believe me do not take shit from anyone. Refreshing and clever, I'll definitely be checking out Sheridan's other novels as well as others in this Rue Morgue reprint series. Lots of fun.

A nice taste of Hawaiian history enlivens this mystery.
Not a great mystery, but fantastic for the atmosphere and setting in 1949 NY.
