Aloha to a good mystery

I really enjoyed this book on my kindle so when I saw it was on audible I jumped at chance of revisiting the story again. So glad I did because I think I loved It even more.The romance side of the story was sweet and often amusing, the interaction between the shy couple and the mishaps and misunderstanding that go along with it and add in the over protective but brother and you have some fun entertainment. I liked the surf instructor idea for a job (perfect for an island and a nice change from working in the catering industry) and I liked how she struggled with giving the lesson and with the great writing it was easy to imagine along with the island life. I liked the characters and thought they made for a nice group of friends that is fun to spend time with.The mystery was good and although I had guessed the major twist at the end, I hadn't guessed the right bad guy. I liked the way the story unfolded and kept you guessing. I would recommend this book and the series, the books are written by a number of different and talented authors and this author has put herself up there as one of the better ones.
Samantha has packed everything she owns and moved back home after losing her job. In desperate need of money she lies while applying to teach children how to surf and despite getting off to a bad start she gets the job. Her first lesson doesn't go well when the children know more about surfing then she does and when she finally dares to take them into the sea it's only to get knocked over by a dead body. The dead man lived in a nursing home where Sam's mum, Rita, and brother, Luke, work at and when a lawyer informs Rita that she has been named the beneficiary of the will, she gets suspended and the police take a closer look at her. Then another body is found, this time naming Luke in the will. Knowing the two people she cares for the most in the world could be going to jail as the police aren't looking at anybody else Sam sets out to find her own answers and maybe in the process find a killer. With the help of some new friends can Sam find the killer?
I liked the narrator. She made the story entertaining and by giving the characters there own voice it helped bring the story to life.
