출판사 설명
From USA Today bestselling author Leslie Langtry comes the killer start to a brand new multi-author series...
Nani Johnson thought she had it made when she moved from Kansas to the resort town of Aloha Lagoon, Kauai. In spite of her certifiably crazy mom, Nani is determined that nothing will stop her from becoming a ukulele virtuoso! Unfortunately her Julliard training doesn't help her break into the local music scene due to some heavy competition from the Terrible Trio—three hostile, local musicians. The only work she finds is a few bar mitzvahs and gigs at the kitschy Blue Hawaii Wedding Chapel.
But when one of Nani's competitors drops dead right after a public feud, Nani becomes the police's main suspect. A missing murder weapon, mysterious threats, and a heck of a frame-up job all have Nani worrying she'll be trading in her flowery muumuus for prison orange. Enter hunky local botanist Nick Woodfield, who just might be able to help her clear her name...that is if he doesn't have secrets of his own. With the bodies stacking up, the danger closing in, and the authorities circling, Nani must track down a killer...before she ends up the latest victim of the Ukulele Murderer!

Ukulele Murder
What a great mystery ! Enjoyed it so much , the island and the people !! I recommend it to everyone who likes cozy mysteries !!!!
Some Kauai info
Kauwila grows only on 3 of 9 Hawaiian islands, not Kauai so having it in backyards here ( yes I live on the garden isle), is totally inaccurate. Most luthiers would not use such a hard wood for a ukulele as the sound would be quite dull . It’s why koa is preferred, a softer wood that resonates.
Also I figured out the killer part way through with the minister’s descriptions at the Cliff overlook.
