Synopsis

2019 Whitney Awards Finalist

Hens and homicides in a cozy slice of paradise.

Saffron Skye has inherited a little piece of Hawaiian paradise. Only it's filled with the leftovers of her late uncle's life and overrun with his enormous flock of chickens. When her new friend, the oldest man in town, dies, no one else finds it suspicious. But as the town's newest poultry keeper, Saffron recognizes fowl play when she sees it.

Saffron is a tetrachromat and can see colors nobody else can see. If only she could do the same with killers.

To find the culprit—and the victim's hidden fortune—Saffron will have to look in some surprising places. Even her new flock will lend a wing.

With scrumptious island food galore and two handsome men vying for her attention, Saffron has to focus, crack a few eggs . . . and crack the case.


About Josi Avari

Josi Avari is a mountain girl who found the ocean. She discovered the inspiration for the Aloha Chicken Mysteries while on a writing retreat in a cozy little Hawaiian paradise where she met a feral hen and her chicks.

Josi has a flock of her own, filled with zany chicken characters that flap and squawk their way into her novels. When she's not tapping out stories, she's tossing treats to her hens or creating scrumptious Hawaiian food in her kitchen. She has been known to chase down malasada trucks on foot.

Great mystery, fun read This was a fun book. The descriptions of the foods make me want to go to Hawaii just to eat. Some inconsistencies in the book were annoying, though. When Saffron walked through the lava tube she had on boots, but afterwards she took off sandals while sitting on the beach. Kea......more
