Mai Tai Confessions

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

Welcome to Hanalei Bay, Kauai—where the beaches are beautiful and the secrets are deadly. Murder in paradise has never been this entertaining!



Welcome to the Coconut Cove Paradise Resort, where the mai tais are strong, the murder rate is surprisingly high, and apparently, my love life requires a body count to kickstart things.

I thought I was applying for a barista job at a cozy inn in Maine. Turns out there was a typo—or the universe has a twisted sense of humor—because now I’m managing a falling-apart resort on Kauai’s North Shore where the pools look like science experiments and the electrical system was apparently installed by someone who learned wiring from a cereal box.

My name’s Jinx Julep, and yes, the nickname fits. I’ve got auburn hair that defies humidity, a talent for stumbling into trouble, and a recently divorced status that led me to this slice of paradise held together by duct tape and optimism.

Everything is going surprisingly well until I find a body face down in the sand during our first Mai Tai competition. Now I’m conducting a murder investigation with my two senior citizen sidekicks, dodging the advances of a grumpy but devastatingly attractive detective, and trying to keep our ramshackle resort from collapsing into the ocean. Okay, fine, I’m not dodging a thing when it comes to Mr. Hot Stuff, who happens to be packing heat. 

Everyone is a suspect. And if I don’t figure out who’s killing our guests, the only thing deader than our victim will be my new career in paradise.
