Pushing Up Orchids
(2022)(The tenth book in the Travels and Travails of Maile Spencer series)
A novel by Kay Hadashi
Maile Spencer starts her morning with mowing the lawn, and she never guesses it will end with a neighbor being taken to the morgue.
When beloved orchid grower Mr. Arakawa is found dead in his greenhouse, the police focus their investigation on Maile, who just happens to be the last one to see him alive. Suspicions turn to accusations by the people she trusts the most, and it isn't long before she's in a jail cell making new friends. This just happens to be the same week as when a major international orchid and garden show is in town, and when one of the exhibitors is found dead, more suspicions are cast in Maile's direction.
Join Maile and her sidekick for the week, 10-year-old Nancy, as they follow clues from one end of Honolulu to the other, always trying to stay one step ahead of trouble.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
