The island of Maui is turquoise ocean, stunning vistas, and whalesong―but organized crime has a hidden hold, and Detective Lei Texeira tracks evil that hides behind a beautiful face.
When a nameless teenage girl dies in an apparent vehicular suicide, Lei can’t rest until she finds out what really happened. She blazes through all the wealth and poverty of Maui island society in her quest for justice, rousing a deadly foe―even as she faces the personal demons of commitment and revenge that threaten the only real love she’s ever known.
Disappointed This is the third Lei Texeria crime novel I’ve read. While I liked the first two a lot, the second being my favorite. This novel I didn’t care for much at all. I read mysteries for the mystery. The interpersonal relationships should just be side line. This was way too much about Lei and her problems not the mystery.

Not as great as the last two I’ve read all three books of the Lei Crime Series. I noticed everyone seemed to give it quite high marks. The story continues as it does from the first two. This is my review and although I know everyone else loved it, I didn’t. I actually bought the book (most of my books are free, I’d say about 98%) because I enjoyed the last two. I did notice the price went from $3.99 (the price I bought it at) to $2.99.Â
