fiction book about Maui or Hawaii

While on vacation, I love to read fiction which takes place at my vacation spot.I am. I am going to Maui next week, does anyone have any book suggestions? I read Mitchner's Hawaii last time I was there, which was terrific. Thanks

I remembered seeing a similar topic recently. Not sure if this will work, but here is an attempt at a link to that thread. If not, type "Hawaii reading" into the search bar - this was at the top when I did it, dated end of April 2008

I haven't read it, but there is Paul Theroux's "Hotel Honolulu". I haven't been impressed with his fiction, but his travel writing is superb.

Not fiction, but a great read is "Shoals of Time" by Gavan Daws. As good as any fiction book I've read.

I started this exact same topic a couple of months ago. In addition to the recs I received on that thread, I bought a paperback mystery by Sue Henry called The Refuge, which is set on the Big Island.

I'll look for the thread and top it for you.
