It's a rather simplistic mystery--and I really felt like the reader had to suspend disbelief in reading it. I didn't find the characters very developed.
As in common in most amateur sleuth mysteries, the reader is expected to believe that the local police just could not solve the mystery without the help of the amateur sleuths. I felt that way with this book. Agnes or Eleanor would suggest something to Hayno as if he never would have thought to check it on his own--also there were a few times that the two ladies "forgot" to tell him some piece of their information until someone else mentioned it.
Add to that the unlikely event of winning the lottery, which is the only reason they can afford to go to Hawaii in the first place. For me, it show more just didn't all add up to a story I could reasonably believe.
I was glad to see the murder solved though I didn't guess who the murderers were or why. show less
