Aloha Chicken Mysteries #8
Empty Nest
Hens and homicides in a cozy slice of paradise. The goslings are gone!
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush—or four that have disappeared into thin air. Saffron is on a quest to find the goosenapper before something terrible happens to Cupcake and her goslings.
She’d be happy as a lark if Hawaii’s wild birds weren’t disappearing all over the island and if there wasn’t a lion on the loose from an exotic animal show.
With Nik back from his surfing trip, an empty nester ruling the Hau’oli ka Moa roost, and five children that Saffron has taken under her wing, this investigation is bound to ruffle some feathers.
Bad Egg: Book 8 in the Aloha Chicken Mysteries series of cozy-clean reads . . . with chickens.

Eggsellent mystery!
I adore Saffron and the Aloha Chicken Mysteries. I’m glad that most of the usual cast of characters were back in this one, including food descriptions that make my mouth water. There was a lot of adventure in this book and I loved Dangerous and Jasper. Please continue to write these books. I promise to keep reading them. Also, the sensory details are wonderful. Almost like I could feel or taste or smell what Saffron does.

This series of books take you on a vibrant adventure that fills the mind with intrigue and adventure. The authors depths and ability to take you into the beauty and culture of the Hawaiian people brings the mind to a place and reality that I would never have gone to on my own. I can't thank you enough for this amazing journey, and I look forward to further adventures together. Kelly

Delightful series of cozy mysteries. I enjoyed them all. The characters are believable and the settings are delicious. I felt like I was right there in Hawaii with all the colors, fragrances, sights, sounds and the adventures. The variety within the series was enjoyable. I would love more from this author.

Conservation gone terribly wrong!
I appreciated the environmental twist to this installment. I love birds and would love to visit Hawaii just to study the variety there. This story showed just how extreme a person can get about that passion. Still hoping Keahe makes his way back home to Saffron.
