About this audiobook
Charlie's last case left her tired and emotionally drained, so her office staff convinces her to vacation in Kauai. Charlie is riding in a helicopter when she and the pilot spot a dead body lying on the rugged rocks of Kauai's NaPali coast. Mack Garvey, the owner of the helicopter tour company, is accused of the murder. Charlie wants to avoid the whole mess but is persuaded to help Garvey prove his innocence. As the tension builds, Charlie roots out the suspects one by one never dreaming that her own life is about to be snuffed out by sinister means.

We have traveled quite a lot and now divide our time between the American Southwest and a place on the Sea of Cortez. For relaxation I love art -- painting and drawing can completely consume me. I also really enjoy cooking, with whatever ingredients I find in whatever country we are in at the moment. We walk every day and love watching and photographing wildlife."

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Good story, bad reader! You could her turning pages and gasping for breath.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Vacations can be murder by Connie Shelton This the second book in the Charlie Parker mysteries series. In the first book Charlie Parker is an accountant and partner with her brother in their own small private investigations firm looking after the firm’s accounts, taxes etc. In this the second book in the series she seems to have become an investigator in financial matters. While holidaying on the Hawaiian Island of Kauai, she takes a helicopter tour where she and the pilot see a body in a particularly inaccessible area of the island. Back at the heliport Charlie gives the pilot her business offering help if he needs it. Of course he does, leading to a holiday romance and some unofficial investigation.Plenty about the romance and the island of Kauai, but not much about the murder mystery,All in all rather disappointing. I hope she will settle into her character that showed so much promise in the first book
