About this listen

From USA Today best-selling author Anne Marie Stoddard comes a fabulously fashionable mystery in paradise....

After a very painful — and very public — divorce from her cheating football star husband, Kaley Kalua just wants some peace and privacy. Cramming only the essentials (clothes, shoes, and makeup) into her Prada duffel bag, Kaley returns to her hometown of Aloha Lagoon to manage her Aunt Rikki’s clothing shop, the Happy Hula Dress Boutique. A new job, new friends, and a change of scenery are just what she needs to turn her life around. It doesn’t hurt that Kaley’s handsome childhood best friend, Noa Kahele, has also moved back to the small resort town.

Unfortunately, life on the island isn’t quite the peaceful paradise that Kaley was expecting. Not everyone is thrilled about her return — especially Louana, Happy Hula’s assistant manager, who thinks that she deserves Kaley’s new job. And when the woman is found strangled by a bikini top from the boutique, the police make it clear that Aunt Rikki is their main suspect. But Kaley is determined to prove her aunt’s innocence! Between dodging a nosy local reporter and sparring with her high school nemesis, Kaley compiles her own list of suspects. In the process, she also attracts the attention of a dangerous killer. If Kaley isn’t careful, she could wind up trading her colorful wardrobe for funeral black....

Dressed to Kill

After a very public divorce, Kaley came home to her Aunt Riki to help manage her shop at Aloha Lagoon Resort. Reunited with her Aunt and her best friend from high school she’s looking forward to a new life. Then her Aunt becomes a suspect in a murder of a former employee and they must rove her innocence. A great cozy mystery series.

Where's the fire?

I thought surely there must have been a fire because the narrator rushed so much that I had to catch my breath! She had a clear voice, pleasant enough. However, it was totally rushed and it made me dizzy to listen. I am normally a 1.20-1.25 speed type of gal so I am used to faster narrations. I had to slow this audiobook down to an unheard of speed of 0.90. The narrator also over-dramatizes quit a bit. On a positive note, she was able to distinguish every character voice. I love this author and have read her other books in the Aloha Lagoon series in ebook. I thought I would give this one a try in audio. Needless to say, I will continue on with the author but avoid any more audiobooks by this narrator.

Good narration and story

Good plot and a good flowing story murder and mayhem when she returns to her hometown. How will she settle in if she has a Prada duffle bag, there is an old flame, and a jealous assistant manager come to light, and so did murder. Good narration by. Mary.added to the story.
