Klappentext

Retired caterer Valerie Corbin investigates a suspicious drowning in this Orchid Isle cozy culinary mystery, featuring a feisty queer couple who swap surfing lessons for sleuthing sessions in tropical Hilo, Hawai'i

After a vacation of a lifetime in Hilo, Hawai'i, retired caterer Valerie Corbin and her wife Kristen have decided to move permanently to the beautiful - if storm-prone - Big Island. The couple are having fun furnishing their new house, exploring their new neighborhood and playing with their new little dog, Pua. But while they've made good friends with local restaurant manager Sachiko and her partner Isaac, they can't help but feel a little lonely.

So when Sachiko begs Val to fill in for a member of her bar team who's gone AWOL, Val dusts off her cocktail shaker and happily agrees. It's a great chance to meet more people - and learn the local gossip.

Such as about Hank, the missing bartender, who vanished after a team-building retreat at a local beauty spot a week ago, and hasn't been seen since. Until, that is, his body turns up at the bottom of the waterfall, and the police seem very interested in where Sachiko was at the time of his death.

Sachiko couldn't have killed him . . . could she? Val dives into the murky waters of the case, determined to find out.

This mouth-watering cozy mystery is perfect for fans of Ellen Byron, Jennifer J Chow, Lucy Burdette and Raquel V Reyes, and includes a selection of delicious Hawaiian recipes to cook at home.
