Summary
A 2019 Whitney Awards finalist.
Hens and homicides in a cozy slice of paradise.
Saffron Skye has inherited a little piece of Hawaiian paradise. Only it's filled with the leftovers of her late uncle's life and overrun with his enormous flock of chickens. When her new friend, the oldest man in town, dies, no one else finds it suspicious. But as the town's newest poultry keeper, Saffron recognizes "fowl" play when she sees it.
Saffron is a tetrachromat and can see colors nobody else can see. If only she could do the same with killers.
To find the culprit - and the victim's hidden fortune - Saffron will have to look in some surprising places. Even her new flock will lend a wing.
With scrumptious island food galore and two handsome men vying for her attention, Saffron has to focus, crack a few eggs...and crack the case.

A gentle murder mystery
This story describes the island of Hawaii beautifully. As the mystery unfolds interesting characters are well narrated. A satisfying conclusion too. Glad I listened.

Ruffling some feathers
This book was just not for me. I started enjoying the book but by the time we got to the middle I was losing interesting. The story took too long to get anywhere, maybe it would have been better as a shorter story. I know the author wanted to set the location as Hawaii but with all the food talk, far to much information on chickens and the love interests, I lost interest and struggled to finish the book. Which is a shame because I did like the characters and the location, just maybe not quite in so much detail. I liked Saffron as a main character and the bond she had with the chicken and rooster but two men falling over her got annoying, especially as it didn't stop her from think of them as the killer. The mystery was slow, with setting up the scene, but it did have a few twists at the end.
After her estranged uncles death Saffron heads to Hawaii to settle up his estate before returning back to her life. The problem is when she gets there the property is over run with chicken and in badly neglected. Before she can sell it she has to fix it up and not knowing the first thing about chicken or island life she turns to her uncles two best friends for help. Before she can do more than catcher a few chickens one of the old men dies. He was nearly a 100 and despite his clean bill of health no body is surprised , except Saffron. She can't believe it was natural causes and set sets out to prove it. When somebody breaks into her uncles house, it feels like the two incidents are connected. Can she prove that she isn't just a city girl ruffling feather over nothing?
I liked the narrator. She helped with the island feel to the book with her paid back approach to the story.
