Setting. I was thoroughly entertained by Charley Memminger’s mystery novel,
Aloha Lady Blue. Any reader who’s enjoyed John D. MacDonald’s novels should read this book. While neither a homage nor strict imitation, this novel is in the spirit of MacDonald, and Memminger makes that even clearer when we learn the name of the houseboat on which protagonist Stryker McBride lives: the Travis McGee. The setting in Hawaii comes alive through Memminger’s descriptive language. If you’re looking for something to read on the flight from the mainland to Hawaii, you can’t do better than this novel.
Rating: Four-star (I like it)
