I found a Halloween mystery set in Hawaii, Livin' Lahaina Loca by JoAnn Bassett, sitting in my Kindle:
...I whirled around and came nose-to-nose with a plastic mask sporting an impish grin and saucer-sized black ears. Halloween night in Lahaina, Maui. The happiest place on earth for a cartoon mouse looking to cop a feel.
"You don't wanna go there," I said, grabbing the groper's forearm just above the white four-fingered glove.Book description: "It's Halloween in Lahaina Town, Maui and the Mardi Gras of the Pacific is in full swing... But wedding planner Pali Moon isn't in costume--she's on a mission. A bridesmaid has vanished and Pali's canvassing Front Street, hoping to spot a girl with long red hair and a lingerie model's figure. No luck. Back at her car, Pali opens the door and finds the remnants of a bizarre trick or treat stunt. Turns out, Halloween in Lahaina isn't just a night for island high-jinx, it's also a night for vengeance."
I have just discovered Kindle Cloud Reader. I might start reading this one and more of my Kindle books after all.
I have the two Leslie Meier books in my TBR pile. I love cozy mysteries.
ReplyDeleteHarvee, thanks for sharing this Halloween collection! Your post made me Google Kindle Cloud Reader. :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't read any of these! I guess I tend to read children's books at Halloween time so as to cut down on my own fear. :)
