I can't say it's a brilliant mystery but it is indeed enjoyable and Charlie is quite the character, you can't but love her!
Charlotte Gibson fled to her home town Maui, Hawaii, after she killed the robber who tried to rob the jewelry shop she worked in, and his brothers mobsters were after her. Broke and living with her mother.
A murder. A reward for finding the killer. Two old badass ladies. Would Charlie find the killer?!
I definitely want more of Charlie, Rosie, Dot and of course Jake.

I want to say more about it but anything would be a spoiler. And WE HATE SPOILERS.
