Great Book! Takes you to Hawaii, midst of a Coffee plantation and everything that follows from there is completely believable! Having lived there over 6 yrs I could completely see this mystery unfold!
And mystery it is... you won't guess the true culprit, and you won't see it coming!
If you are into the whole Gideon Oliver thing, this book will be good for you.
For me... this book was a little slow at times. The only thing that I wish was different was how the author went on and on and in depth about the coffee business. If you are interested in forensics and skeletons this will be a good book for you. One surprising twist at the end.
