In this “encore” novel to the “Islands of Aloha Mystery” series, it’s been six months since Maui wedding planner Pali Moon’s own hasty wedding to her best friend’s brother-in-law, and life’s beginning to fray around the edges. She learns having kids probably isn’t in the cards for her at the same time her friend and kung fu sifu, Doug Kanekoa, reveals his wife’s stepping out on him. Her husband’s ultra-classified job sends him to parts unknown and he hints at ending their marriage. Friend Farrah frets over a machete-wielding ghost stalking her children, but when Pali steps up to help, she gets thrown under the bus for her trouble. Pali’s doing her best to keep the faith when death deals her a body blow. It’s personal, it’s painful, and this time it’s ‘ohana.
