Aloha Alibi

Charlotte Gibson, known to nearly everyone as Charlie, did not pick Hawaii for the sunshine. She arrives on Maui after a mobster sends her a severed finger as a warning, leaving her with six dollars and a mother who is determined to find her a husband. Charlie works at an ice cream shop, but her real focus shifts when a businessman is murdered and his company posts a reward for information leading to the killer. A reward that size could pay for her own apartment and a fresh start far from the people who want her dead, so she sets out to track the killer herself.

She soon teams up with a pair of elderly women who are even spunkier than Betty White. Their investigation runs straight into a local detective who is irritating, attractive, and determined to keep Charlie away from the case. Corrupt local politicians add further complications, while her best friend acts as the voice of reason.

Will Charlie identify the killer, or will her stay in paradise turn into a disaster?
