Oy vey. And I quite frankly lost track of the two main female characters; they're pretty much interchangeable. The villain isn't very villainous. The crimes aren't gone into with enough detail that you feel any loss about the victims...no one felt any loss, really. It's like a writing exercise gone mad - prompt; write about Hawaiian life and concerns of the locals versus tourists and the impact on wildlife. Oh and don't forget to set it in the COVID pandemic, too. Oh and just how are all those electric cars going to be powered when everyone's driving one in 10 years?? Returning to Audible.

HTML: A young man is drawn into the dark side of paradise in this haunting and "perfectly crafted" mystery (Grady Hendrix), about the eerie secrets of one Hawai'ian islandâ??and the lengths some will go to keep them. On a whim, Grady Kendall applies to work as a live-in caretaker for a luxury property in HawaiÊ»i, as far from his small-town Maine life as he can imagine. Within days he's flying out to an estate on remote Hokuloa Road, where he quickly uncovers a dark side to the island's idyllic reputation: it has long been a place where people vanish without a trace.When a young woman from his flight becomes the next to disappear, Grady is determinedâ??and soon desperateâ??to figure out what's happened to Jessie, and to all those staring out of the island's "missing" posters. But working with Raina, Jessie's fiercely protective best friend, to uncover the truth is anything but easy, and with an inexplicable and sinister presence stalking his every step, Grady can only hope he'll find the answer before it's too late. Perfect for fans of Peter Heller and The White Lotus, and from award-winning writer Elizabeth Hand, a master of crime fiction known for her magnetic characters, seductive prose, and fearless excavations into the darkest corners of our world, comes a chilling and illuminating new novel about a place unlike any otherâ??and the deadly cost of keeping it so. "Set in a Hawaii so vividly imagined I'm still shaking sand out of my shoes."â??Grady Hendrix "Twisty and dark . . . easily one of the best thrillers I've read." â??Rachel Hawkins "This is the perfect book for your summer beach bagâ??an evocative mystery set in a tropical island paradise . . . I was completely enthralled!" â??Jason Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
