Wow... Matt and Kathy sound like the Poirot and Hastings of the 21st century. This book sounds like one I'm likely to fall in love with. And chances are I'll chase the author for more! Thank you so much for your review!

Great review, in terms that reviewer practically outlined every and all fine points I greatly enjoyed while reading this book. It is indeed very good crime thriller, with excellent thought through storyline, psychologically believable characters and leveled mystery. Congrats on BOTD are very well deserved!

This sounds like a very interesting book. I love when authors can’t write concisely, but well, and I love a well-edited book!

In addition to my likeness for the book's concise and straight-to-the-point nature, I also liked the fun and thrill
The book is indeed concise and straight-to-the-point. But, I was hoping for some twist, even for a 64-paged story. Thanks for the insights.

I like that this detective story is set in Hawaii. It sounds like a combination of suspense and travel log.

Dying while on vacation, drugs in the pocket, a missing wife - you already have me intrigued! I enjoyed your high praise for the character development, the descriptions, and the romance keep the story interesting. Looks good!

I love investigative thrillers. The review got my interest piqued. I'm looking forward to reading about Justin Fisher's case, and how the investigators solve the mystery. The author has done a commendable job in character development, descriptions and maintaining intrigue and suspense. A book worth adding to my reading list. Thank you for the wonderful review.

"Death Inside Diamond Head" by Randolph Mase - A wonderful, descriptive police mystery occurs in lush Hawaii. A former New York police officer ends up dead, by accident or purpose is not known, and his wife disappears at the same time. Detective Matthew Hogan, on vacation in Hawaii, is asked to help the HPD solve the puzzle. A gripping, suspenseful story. Thanks for the great review.

This book seems like an example for the genre of detective stories. However, I'm not one who enjoys such books.

Aah, I love detective stories! They really drive my brain to think of theories and what's going to happen next. The fun part is trying to piece together all the information and come to a conclusion. It's a bonus too that the author wrote this vividly and was professionally edited. I have high expectations for this book.
