Blood Orchids by Toby Neal is a crime mystery set in Hawaii. This is not the type of book I normally read, and for good reason. I found it disturbing and not to my taste. Neal is a local author so I was interested to read her book for this reason only.
The heroine is Lei Texeira, a Big Island cop with a troubled past who finds herself in the middle of a murder mystery, while also being stalked herself. Since there are a whole series of books about Lei we assume she will be Ok, which she ultimately is. I can see how it can be intriguing to watch a mystery unfold and try to
figure it out before the detectives in the book do (which in this case wasn't hard) but otherwise, I
just don't see the point in reading things like this.
If crime fiction is your thing, you might enjoy this book, but it's not for me.
