A Tiki Goddess Mystery
Curse of the Lost Tiki: A Tiki Goddess Short Story
An impending hurricane may be the least of Uncle Louie’s troubles. . .
Uncle Louie Marshall has long been the soul of the Tiki Goddess bar--home to the hilarious and irrepressible Hula Maidens and a beloved hub of the community. When a grizzled sea captain asks him to take care of a mysterious duffle bag, Louie agrees without a second thought. And the trouble begins.
Both the captain and his deck hand turn up dead. Soon the locals are up in arms, filled with tales of the curse of the Lost Tiki.
Louie will have to do more than concoct clever cocktails to fix the mess he’s in.
Author A seven-time Romance Writers of America finalist for the RITA Award, Jill Marie Landis also now writes The Tiki Goddess Mysteries (set on the island of Kauai, Hawaii, where she lives with her husband, actor Steve Landis.)

Fun short story from a wonderful series
I. Wish there were more books stories in this series . the characters are some of my favorites. This short story was was interesting , uncle Lou was main star in it not the Madien s but they were at the goddess doing their thing. If a tone reads Jana demon miss fortune series it is easy to picture Feeds joining the maidens and her parrot having g blast with Dave letterman lol

My Favorite Mystery Series! Have read the entire series and the Curse of the Lost Tiki novella will not disappoint. The same whacky characters are all there to "help" solve the crime mystery. If you have read any of the Tiki Goddess Mysteries, you will surely enjoy this. My only regret is that it had to end.

Great Introduction to the Tiki Goddess Mystery series.
I’m a big fan of Jill Marie Landis and her historical and suspense romance novels. I always care about Jill’s characters, who are uniquely and thoughtfully drawn. But my favorite is the Tiki Goddess cozy mystery series because the setting is Hawai’i, the characters are colorful, and I’m having a fun and easy romp through paradise as the Hula Maidens solve murders and dance in competitions. This story story is a quick and immersive introduction into Tiki’s tropical and whimsical world, and a character whose pet parrot is a cocktail taste tester that picks winning blends in one shot.

I love this series. This short story was a great sidebar involving the adventures of Uncle Louie and the gang. Can’t wait for book 6.
