Too Many Mai Tais Can Be Killer

A fresh, high-stakes tropical thriller.

P.I. Eva Pierce is undercover as social media star Sandi Beach at a luxury Waikiki resort. But when her billionaire target plummets from his penthouse, Eva is caught between a killer, a charming helicopter pilot, and a handsome homicide detective who isn't sure whether she's a witness...or a suspect.

Perfect for readers who love Liane Moriarty and the exotic settings of The White Lotus.

The Set Up

Paradise has a body count.

Private investigator Eva Pierce makes a living catching cheaters in exotic locales while undercover as viral travel influencer “Sandi Beach.” Always filming, always smiling, and always underestimated, Eva specializes in hiding in plain sight—even while wearing a garish leopard-print caftan and blinding everyone with her ring light.

But in Waikīkī, the man she’s tailing doesn’t just cheat. He dies. For the first time ever, Eva has a problem she never anticipated: too many followers.

Chased from the top of Diamond Head crater to beneath the inky black waters of the Pacific Ocean, Eva is suddenly starring in a deadly livestream she can’t turn off.
