Synopsis

ALOHA MURDER

Accidents are plaguing a documentary film crew on breathtakingly beautiful Kauai. Can San Francisco P.I. Sharon McCone ferret out possible sabotage behind the scenes? The job sounds like a breeze -- McCone envisions romantic, tropical nights with her lover, Hy Ripinsky. Instead, she finds a troubled paradise with rising tensions between native and non-native Hawaiians, a film going south fast, and a macabre ritual death. Then a mysterious local pilot rattles her commitment to Hy, and soon McCone is in danger herself...caught in the place Hawaiians call "ahi wela maka'u", the place between fire love and fire terror, the place where even a seasoned private eye can get burned.

From AudioFile

San Francisco Private Investigator Sharon McCone hits the shores of Kauai. Choppy abridgment leaves a number of holes in an otherwise entertaining and engaging story about a missing writer, a troubled film crew and the clash of Hawaiian and missionary cultures. When reading narration from the P.I.'s perspective, Bean's voice has a droning, mechanical precision. But when performing the lines of other characters, her talents blossom with rich character differentiation and a variety of believable accents. S.E.S.
