Here’s the set-up for Victoria Landis’ Blinke It Away, just $3.99 on Kindle or Currently FREE for Amazon Prime Members Via the Kindle Lending Library:

It’s an idyllic day on Oahu until Bess Blinke interrupts a bizarre robbery that ends in homicide. In the following days, she discovers terrible secrets tied to the crime, and her world unravels. When the killer realizes the depth of what she knows and comes after her, she runs, hides, and plots to reveal the truth and expose the brutal force behind several murders.

Lauded for its authentic grasp of the ‘local’ Hawaiian culture, Blinke It Away takes the reader into the everyday bustle of ordinary life in Hawaii and shows the reality far from the staging presented to tourists.

From the reviewers:

Blinke It Away pulled me in from page 1! Read it for my book club and we all loved it! The setting took me back to vacations in Hawaii and I enjoyed the strong, well paced plot and interesting characters. I’ll be sure to buy the next Bess Blinke book on the day of release!  –  “Book Babe”

Having lived in Hawaii myself for 6 years, I can attest to the fact that the author knows her island and its people. The descriptions of Oahu and the islanders really took me down memory lane.   –  “Vandernise1”

Top of the line whodunit! Victoria Landis has produced an immensely readable, exciting, and – yes – thought provoking novel with Blinke It Away. Her plot line is consistently exciting although she did allow me to come up for breath every so often before hitting me with the next frightening event. However, the book is much more than that! It is a study of characters and of the many faces of the individuals she presents, it is a tale of love and the absence of love, and even of ethnicity and the cruelty of victors over vanquished. Set in Hawaii, we also learn of the people to whom that tourist paradise is living and working home  –  Patricia Austin

A friend handed me this book and told me, READ it, you’ll love it. Lies, revenge, and murder – not my usual fare. However, I started it and I was hooked immediately. The story draws you in from the first page. You smell it, you feel it, and live it.  –  Vicki McClellan

Fun, the whole way through! The book is an easy read, scenes chock full of lush environment and contemporary hijinx! Lighthearted fun co-mingled with darkside drama is presented wonderfully. A spirited mixture of humanity, individualism, collective strength and right vs. wrong held my attention throughout as all roads lead to the Eddie Aikau surf competition.  –  Duffy Pastore
