Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2057 KP) rated The Flaming Luau of Death (Madeline Bean, #7) in Books

Madeline and Wes are throwing a destination bachelorette party for their assistant Holly. A weekend in Hawaii sounds wonderful. However, trouble starts before they even leave LA when they find out Holly might not be single. Then a murder in Hawaii leads Madeline to start investigating what is happening. The change of destination is fun, the characters are still strong, and the plot is great.
I just wish this weren't the last in the series.

Amazing location (3 more)
Great action
Cast chemistry
Ferrari
Another entertaining series
This is great easy viewing, plenty of action, cool Hawaii locations and good cast chemistry. Always plenty of action whether it's car chases in the Ferrari, shootouts, fights. All set against a beautiful Hawaii backdrop. The writing is good and there is a good sense of cast chemistry.
This series is a little shorter at 16 episodes and maybe less dramatic story wise running through the series but still very enjoyable.
If you need to fill a void left by @Hawaii Five-0 this is perfect.

Good cast
Trouble in paradise
A very good thriller, with some twists and suspense. The only real problem is there are some big plot holes in the story that really don't add up by the end of film. That aside it's a well made film and enjoyable to watch.

Weird
A odd series full of strange characters on vacation at a resort in Hawaii. The cast is impressive and scenery looks great. There just doesn't appear to be any real plot as such. More like a social commentary about people with money. Some funny moments but overall rather dysfunctional.

Ever wonder what it like to run a bed and breakfast? Well we learn about it a bit though the book of The Hawaiian Discovery. This is only at the beginning. This is where we start out at. Mandy and her husband Ken are the owners of the B and B. Their friend Ellen works there. Ken’s mother calls and we get where they fly back to Hawaii.
We are left Ellen managing the B and B. There are some tragedy and a few surprises along the way. We meet with Ron and Tavi. We start to learn about Ron. This take place mainly in Hawaii and I do not want to give away the ending.
Ellen get to fly to Hawaii for Emergency and spend time there. What happens and what develops while there is really sweet and surprises all. What find out and discovery will be the reason of the title.
Wanda does a wonderful job writing this book with her daughter in law Jean. What a story this and will Ellen get her wish? Ellen seem to be wanting what all Amish want but will she find it in Hawaii or will she not? You fall in love with the characters as you read the book. This book focus on Mandy and Ken and Ellen mostly.
Is Ron who he says he is or is he someone completely different? What could Ron be hiding, if that even his name. All these mysteries. What happens to Ken?

I didn't love it the first time through, but the second time and onward has gotten me to really, really enjoy it and become attached to it. It also helps that Hawaii contains some truly fond memories for me. The songs and heroic nature of the female lead character make it a winner in my book.

Well this sequel of sorts sunk without a trace. A DVD release featuring a fairly well known cast. It doesn't really have any links to the first film other than the plot is similar. Set in Hawaii as some divers are hired for more than just treasure hunting. Not bad but nothing great either, shame as I loved the first film.

Daft but fun
One of those films that sounds pretty bad but exactly was quite funny. A guy invites the wrong girl on a weekend work retreat to Hawaii and has to put up with her crazy ways. Very silly and predictable but funny as well making it the right film for an easy watch and a few laughs.
