A Tiki Goddess Mystery

review 1: As promised in the blurb, this is a booze soaked fun cozy mystery in what most consider paradise, even though it includes a few dead bodies. I love the world and cast of characters Landis' created and will visit the Tiki Goddess again. I don't feel I can rate this higher though because (without giving away spoilers) the story logic fell short to me at a critical juncture. The characters and world were to fun to set aside.
review 2: Set in The Tiki Goddess Bar in Kauai, Hawaii, MAI TAI ONE ON is a quick, light fun cozy. It starts with ‘They would have found the body sooner if it hadn’t been two-for-one Mai Tai Night’ and ends with a section of drink recipes that will knock your socks off. I love a book with good recipes ;) Emily Johnson moves to Hawaii, af... moreter a divorce, to help her Uncle Louie Marshall, who is in the early stages of dementia, run his bar. Besides Em and Louie, you have Sophie Chin, bartender with a past; Roland Sharpe, hunky police detective/fire knife dancer; David Letterman, a parrot who taste tests all the drinks before they can make the menu; Harold Otanami, victim number one and very unlikable man; Fernando, victim number two and ‘the new Liberace’; and most important and fun of all, The Hula Maidens, a troupe of senior citizen hula dancers. I haven’t read any of Jill Marie Landis’ many books as she usually writes romances, but I definitely will make a point to pick up book two in this series, Two To Mango, the next time I am looking for a cozy. less
