In Hawaii, “chicken skin” means goosebumps – and in Ohia on Maui, it means something’s wrong.

Makena the endangered monk seal sunned herself in Ohia Bay for months and was adopted by our town—until two young men throw rocks and injured her, then ran off. 

I’m Kat Smith, former Secret Service agent turned postmaster, and I have exactly one week off to finally move in with my fiancé and see something of Hawaii that isn’t a mail route or part of an island mystery. Instead, I’m hauling a thousand pounds of unconscious seal out of the surf by one flipper and hunting for the tourists that did it. 

Except those young men weren’t tourists—they were sent by someone with a hidden agenda and a lot of money and followers. With my hot pilot fiancé, the Red Hat Society ladies, the seal-watch brigade seniors, and an opinionated, one-eared tortoiseshell cat, I’ve got a week to solve this case before we lose our beach, its seal, and a whole lot more. 

CHICKEN SKIN is a humorous Hawaii cozy mystery with a crime-solving cat, a small island town, senior sleuths, and no gore on the page. Perfect for fans of Rita Mae Brown, Jana DeLeon, Miranda James, and anyone who’s ever loved a cat that bosses them around.
