This is a good book about one of the most sensational murder cases in Hawaii's modern history- one that took years to unravel. It started out as a flawless book. It got a bit tedious during the trial phase. Liars testifying about other liars for years and years.

Hawaii is Heaven-on Earth, with its soft, flower-scented breezes, clear turquoise ocean water, and gently swaying palms. But on Christmas Eve 1991, it became a place of darkest evil, when Dana Ireland was kidnapped by three strangers, raped, savagely beaten, and left to die in the early hours of Christmas morning.

A very organized and well-written book About a beautiful young woman who is brutally raped and murdered on Christmas Eve in Hawaii. It took 9 years to solve this horrible crime. I think the Author did a good job of telling this story.
