Priceless petroglyph stones have vanished from a sacred Hawaiian valley, and my crime-solving cat Tiki just dropped a clue on my desk.
I'm Kat Smith, former U.S. Secret Service agent and current small-town Maui postmaster. When my formerly feral cat Tiki brings me a stolen petroglyph fragment, I know the island is asking me to intervene. Sacred Valley has been held in trust for generations, but now a builder from a major crime family backed by shell-company money is trying to develop it. They are willing to steal sacred artifacts and threaten anyone who gets too close.
With my hot pilot fiancé Mr. K, the unstoppable Red Hat Society ladies, a sharp young Hawaiian archaeologist named Pali Moku, and one very determined formerly feral feline, I race to uncover a conspiracy before Awawakapu Valley is lost and the people who have always protected it are silenced for good.
Talk Story is a tropical cozy mystery rich in Hawaiian culture, found family, senior friendship, and the enduring power of community. Perfect for fans of smart female sleuths, clever felines, and mysteries with aloha spirit. If you enjoy Jana DeLeon, Rita Mae Brown, or the small-town colorful characters of Louise Penny's Three Pines mysteries, you'll love Kat, Tiki, and sleuthing in paradise!
So excited there's another cozy in this fun, funny Hawaii cat mystery series! I can't read enough of them! Book Fan
