review 1: The mystery was okay, but I definitely had trouble believing the story. It was all too pat. There was too much romance for my taste and it took too long to tell the tale. Unfortunately I'd figured out who the killer was, so that wasn't a surprise. Why does Lei's father disappear from the story without a resolution as to where he fits in her life? I read to the end, but skimmed a bit through the second half. While Lei is an interesting character, I found her too immature to be believable so I won't continue with this series.
review 2: Lei Texeira is a detective on the island of Kauai, Hawaii, but all is not well in paradise. Lei has a complicated love life and she's about to have a very complex time at work when she recognises a pattern among the transient commu... morenity - they're going missing, have been for some years, and the local police never picked up on it before. Are the disappearances just a coincidence, just how that particular community come and go, does it involve a cult that lives on the island, or is there a serial killer at work? Toby Neal keeps up the suspense here, the descriptions of the lush tropical landscape definately add to the atmosphere, as does the Hawaiin culture and beliefs, deeply steeped in mystery. The finger of suspicion falls on more than one individual, and much as I thought I'd got the killer sussed out, I was wrong. This book is part of the Lei crime series. I haven't read any of the others in the series, but I'd be happy to do so now. less
