In this twisty domestic suspense novel with a touch of dark humor, a struggling valet driver with a shady side hustle and a soft spot for the ladies suspects that one of his targets might be a serial killer.
You never know what hides behind a smile.
It's tough to get by in Honolulu these days. Prices are high. Salaries are low. Which is why Johnny Silva tells himself he's not doing anything that bad. The people he and his girlfriend target have a lot of insurance-and a lot of jewelry.
But when not one, but two guests from the resort where he works turn up murdered in a similar manner, Johnny starts to suspect that one of his targets, a regular at The Grand Royal Hotel, is the serial killer terrorizing Honolulu.
When the cops start questioning him, Johnny suspects that someone is trying to frame him. Does his girlfriend know he's been chatting up his ex? Does his co-worker know his dark secrets? Are there other enemies out to get him?
Then Johnny becomes a person of interest in the case, and he'll stop at nothing to find the real murderer, even if a stone-cold killer might be a little too close for comfort.
And even if it might cost him his life.
Perfect for fans of Freida McFadden, Kaira Rouda, Daniel Hurst, Emily Shiner, and Shari Lapena.
I LOVED this book, especially since it is set in my former hometown of Honolulu. It's a twisty, fun page-turner with splashes of dark humor. Not overly dark with a killer ending. Robin, Goodreads ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
