The coconut wireless is humming in Ohia, Maui, and the latest topic of gossip is me, Kat Smith.
I'm Secret Service, not Postal Service, but what I feel like is a criminal when I'm appointed postmaster to a cozy little town on Maui.
Turns out I've stolen a well-earned promotion from beloved Auntie Pua Chang, who's been there forever, when all I want to do is hide out in paradise until the witch hunt to kill my career is over.
I haven’t been in Ohia a day when Tiki the post office cat brings a prize to my doorstep—a piece of the woman who had the job before me. I’m thrust into the middle of a murder mystery, and if I don’t help solve it, I might be next—but it’s hard to tell whom to trust.
A fortune-telling general store owner, a hunky Hawaiian pilot, Tiki, and a couple of well-meaning cops seem to want to help—but they are all Auntie Pua supporters, and she'd be happy to see the last of me.
This Hawaii village has more factions than a Mafia convention in Vegas, and I’m on my own tracking a killer with only a grumpy cat for backup.

“Lighter, less intense than than the other 2 Paradise Crime series, but just as engaging.” EMW,-TX.

What an awesome start to a new series! Loved the book and the characters! I LOL more than once! Loved the descriptions of Hawaii and the storyline was awesome! Looking forward to the next book in the series. If you are looking for a book that grabs ahold of you from start to finish this is the one!!

Toby has offered us a new character who can join the crowd and definitely look over the group. This tall relocated new character Kat, the Postmaster, will add a bit of suspense and a laugh or three on her adventure. Join her on settling into Ohia (don't look on Maui's map) and her new job. She will enjoy this new town and work to solve an unexpected mystery. She's interesting and cleverly stumbles into the Hawaiian lifestyle. Lei and Pono come to assist in solving crimes in the area, Tiki growls from under the table, and a very handsome Keone becomes a friend.
An enjoyable read with a welcome chuckle by an ARC reader who volunteers this review.

This the first book in her new Cozy Mysteries series; I absolutely loved it. Kat, a former secret service agent, was assigned a position as the new postmaster in Ohia, Maui. I loved learning so much about Maui, Hawaiian culture and customs. The cat Tiki that lives in Kat's shack, brings her a present the first day of a human hand she found nearby. This hand belongs to the prior postmaster, now we have a murder mystery to solve. This book has a number of mysteries/murders, interesting characters, and lots of subplots. It is fast paced, exciting, funny, and very entertaining. And should Auntie Pua Chang have gotten this postmaster job since she has run the post office for quite some time?

What a great read! If you’re a Toby Neal fan, you won’t want to miss this new, lighter fiction. Coconut Wireless introduces us to a new character, Kat, and old friends Lei and Pono are also part of the story. Plus, I can’t forget Tiki, the cat who brings a “present” to Kat which starts the mystery. Good news – this is the 1st of 3 books in this new series.
