When the body of Dorian Veynar—the ruthless tycoon who built a tourism empire across the Hawaiian Islands—is discovered on his WaikÄ«kÄ« estate, paradise is shattered. What begins as a serene morning overlooking Diamond Head turns into the scene of a shocking murder that sends tremors through Honolulu’s elite.
Detective Keoki Tanaka, a man whose roots run deep into the volcanic soil of Hawai‘i, is called to unravel the truth behind Veynar’s violent death. The investigation draws him into a labyrinth of suspects: a fiery former lover humiliated in public, a calculating business partner with everything to gain, employees betrayed and discarded, and islanders whose sacred lands were desecrated by Veynar’s greed.
From the glittering resorts of Honolulu to the quiet coastlines of Maui, Tanaka navigates webs of power, betrayal, and ancestral claims. As the body count rises and old grudges resurface, he must untangle lies buried beneath paradise’s postcard-perfect facade. Each clue points to hidden motives, each alibi crumbles under scrutiny, and every revelation pulls him closer to a killer driven by ambition, vengeance, or both.
Rich with Hawaiian atmosphere and steeped in suspense, Murder on the Hawaiian Coast is a gripping whodunnit where paradise itself becomes the stage for a deadly reckoning. In a world where beauty masks danger, Detective Tanaka must uncover the truth before the islands’ darkest secrets claim another life.
It was supposed to be a fool proof plan… Until the world caught fire.

Famous crime novelist Kennedy Clark is drawn into a police investigation when someone begins copying the murders in her books. Horrified, she is determined to do whatever she can to help catch the killer.
Detective Levi Varrone doesn’t like anything about these cases, including having a civilian involved. There is something different about them compared to the “average” murder. His instincts have never failed him before but going up against someone like this will take everything in both him and his partner Chelsea Strong, who has her own motivations.
Will they be able to catch the killer before it’s too late? Especially once they seem to be targeting Kennedy specifically...
Excerpt:
“What are we looking at here?” Levi asked the first officers to the scene after showing his badge.
“A woman hung upside down by electrical cords with the letter C carved into her forehead,” an officer said a bit queasily. “We don’t know cause of death yet.”
“I think I know,” Strong said grimly.
Levi raised an eyebrow. “You do? We just got here.”
“I recognize this setup too. The electrical cords…the letter C…it’s from Kennedy Clark’s book Three to Make Ready. In that book, the victim was electrocuted.”
Kennedy Clark again! Was this the same killer? Were they just choosing random victims to reenact Clark’s books with?
Levi didn’t want to believe they were dealing with a serial killer who was able to change their MO so easily. That would make them much harder to catch.
“We need to ID her first and foremost. See if this was someone close to her who just copied Clark’s book to throw us off,” Levi said grimly.
“And if it wasn’t? What if this is the same nutjob who killed Skidmore?” Strong demanded.
“Then we have a serial killer on our hands. One who is a major fan of Kennedy Clark.”
Review:
Molly Day’s “The Writing on the Wall” is a taut, emotionally charged mystery-drama that blurs the line between fiction and reality in chilling fashion. With a premise that hooks from the start—a crime novelist whose fictional murders begin manifesting in real life—Day crafts a slowburn thriller that’s as psychologically compelling as it is suspenseful.
At the heart of the novel is Kennedy Clark, a bestselling author whose vivid imagination becomes a liability when a killer begins reenacting scenes from her books. Day deftly explores Kennedy’s inner turmoil, guilt, and fear, especially as suspicion turns toward her.
From the start, there is undeniable tension between Kennedy and Detective Levi Varrone, whose skepticism and grit make him a formidable foil. Their dynamic, along with Levi’s partner Chelsea Strong—who harbors her own motivations—adds layers of complexity to the investigation.
Day’s writing is cinematic, with visceral imagery and sharp dialogue. The descriptions of crime scenes are haunting and evocative, successfully setting the tone for a story that doesn’t flinch from the macabre. Yet beneath the horror lies a poignant exploration of obsession, family loyalty, and the burden of creativity.
Kennedy’s relationship with her sister Reagan, a lawyer fiercely protective of her, injects warmth and humanity into the narrative, grounding the protagonist in a world that feels lived-in and emotionally resonant.
The novel’s structure, beginning with a present-day interrogation and flashing back to Kennedy’s writing struggles and personal triumphs, creates a compelling dual timeline that mirrors the unraveling mystery.
“The Writing on the Wall” is more than a whodunit; it’s a meditation on the power of storytelling and the dangerous allure of fame. As Kennedy grapples with the consequences of her own imagination, readers are invited to question the boundaries between the author and the audience, between fiction and reality. Molly Day delivers a gripping, layered narrative that lingers long after the final page.
Our verdict: This book is a must-read for fans of psychological thrillers, crime fiction, and character-driven drama.
A locked room. A dead senator. A city trembling in silence.
In a city ruled by power and secrets, the truth doesn’t just hide — it is hunted.
Senator James Harding is found dead in his private office. No prints. No note. No way in, or out. It should’ve ended there.
But it didn’t.
Prosecutor Emma Carter isn’t one to back down. Fierce, brilliant, and unshakably loyal to justice, she takes on the case that could end her career or expose everything. Her only lead? A man who hasn’t spoken a word in three years.
Jonah Reeve was once a fearless investigative journalist. Until the night a car left him broken and voiceless. But silence doesn’t mean surrender. Jonah remembers. And now, through trembling hands and American Sign Language, he’s ready to tell the story they tried to bury.
As Emma and Jonah unravel a trail of hidden files, whispered threats, and buried witnesses, they discover something more dangerous than a murder: a conspiracy stretching into the highest offices of justice itself.
But some people don’t want the truth uncovered. And they’re willing to kill — again — to keep it quiet.
A silent witness. A fearless prosecutor. A city on the edge.
