What would you do to save something priceless? Security specialist Sophie Ang has a new case: someone is looting artifacts from a royal Hawaiian archaeological site in Lahaina on Maui. Things get deadly fast, and Sophie’s friend, Detective Lei Texeira, takes the case. The women track a killer whose tangled motives extend high into the world of Hawaiian cultural affairs, and deep into the darkest of human motivations—and all the while, Sophie walks a tightrope between new love and heartbreak. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Finalist: Best Indie Book Contest ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "This thriller explores a little known and culturally important archeological site hidden under a baseball diamond in the center of Lahaina. Exhuming it could point a way forward to restoration of the town." ~Reviewer “Neal’s female leads are strong, fierce, independent, and fabulous although rough around the edges. She writes with such exquisite detail...immersing you in the island surroundings as though you are there. Exhilarating, suspenseful, thrilling, fast-paced, action-packed, easy flow, engaging, immersive, vulnerable, and scintillating.” ~F. Thorn, reviewer FREE MYSTERY SET IN LAHAINA ON MAUI~ GET IT NOW!

I liked the character of Sophie enough when reading the Lei Texiera books to seek these out, but so far I like Lei a lot better. These feel very thin in the crime and not as thoughtful on the character development. I also can't get into the creepy computer stalker-turned-boyfriend the Ghost. Urk. I miss Alika Wolcott! I'm glad that Sophie has loving people in her life...but maybe too many loving men who want to save her... Yeah, these are quick, easy reads (often read two back-to-back as I did with the Lei books), but not quite as emotionally or intellectually engaging as the Lei books.
