Hazard in Hawaii (A Doctor Danger Mystery BOOK 1) by Heather Silvio – Review by Jennifer Gordon

Hazard in Hawaii by Heather Silvio
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I thoroughly enjoyed this cozy mystery novel with a paranormal twist which had me hooked from start to finish. I loved the heroine of the story Sarah Danger, who is working towards her PhD and working as a Private Investigator Assistant. Sarah travels to the Big Island of Hawaii when locals begin to fall ill and one man has already died having been boiled alive from an unexplained fever-illness. To start with Sarah is just excited to have flown to a tropical paradise with her boss and thinks that there will be a perfectly good scientific reason behind this illness, but she starts to think that maybe it’s not a scientific explanation they are looking for. When her boss has a heart attack Sarah is forced into a leadership role and relies on her background in comparative mythology and her empath abilities to solve this intriguing case and save lives.
This is an enjoyable and engaging supernatural mystery with a fast paced storyline which has plenty of action, plot twists and quirky characters to keep any reader happily turning the pages. I loved Sarah as the main character and thought that she bought the story together and I felt like I was solving the mystery alongside her. The descriptive narrative really bought the beautiful setting of Hawaii to life and really set the seen of the mystery. I enjoyed learning about Hawaiian folklore which was sprinkled throughout the story. This was a fun read and a great introduction to Sarah Danger and the start of this new series by an author who is new to me, and I look forward to book two.
