Reseñas
entertaining story
Suzie
Reader was not bad, but her mangled pronunciation of Hawaiian place names rendered them unrecognizable. I groaned every time she read what must have been Waikiki. There were several others - Kauai and Oahu among them- that were just as bad. I appreciate the reader’s time and effort, but just a little more effort to learn how to say the Hawaiian names would make this a much more pleasant book to listen to.
Very Enjoyable
Verity
Having been blessed with 40+ years of Hawaii's romance, this story was a very enjoyable listen for me, even the many mispronunciations brought a smile. Well written, lots of twists in the plot and good character development. Would highly recommend for mystery lovers and lovers in general. Aloha and mahalo nui loa!

Not a bad story but I found the narrator difficult to listen to and her mispronunciation of words was too distracting
