Ukulele Murder
Ukulele Murder: Aloha Lagoon Mysteries book #1 | Leslie Langtry
3 posts | 3 read | 2 to read
From USA Today bestselling author Leslie Langtry comes the killer start to a brand new multi-author series... Nani Johnson thought she had it made when she moved from Kansas to the resort town of Aloha Lagoon, Kauai. In spite of her certifiably crazy mom, Nani is determined that nothing will stop her from becoming a ukulele virtuoso! Unfortunately her Julliard training doesn't help her break into the local music scene due to some heavy competition from the Terrible Trio—three hostile, local musicians. The only work she finds is a few bar mitzvahs and gigs at the kitschy Blue Hawaii Wedding Chapel. But when one of Nani's competitors drops dead right after a public feud, Nani becomes the police's main suspect. A missing murder weapon, mysterious threats, and a heck of a frame-up job all have Nani worrying she'll be trading in her flowery muumuus for prison orange. Enter hunky local botanist Nick Woodfield, who just might be able to help her clear her name...that is if he doesn't have secrets of his own. With the bodies stacking up, the danger closing in, and the authorities circling, Nani must track down a killer...before she ends up the latest victim of the Ukulele Murderer!

A fun read set in warm Hawaii. It was just something light to take my mind off of freezing weather and snow.

Also I've now completed the #LitsyAtoZ challenge!!📚😃📚 #LetterU @BookishMarginalia

Nani Johnson Aloha Lagoon book 1. A not entirely successful cosy mystery set in Hawai'i, but still an entertaining-enough read. I'll probably read more of these, but I'm not rushing to find #2. Nani is reasonable engaging as a main character, and some of her internal monologue was touching - particularly the musing on how her father's death had impacted both her and her mom.
