Wilson McKenna never wrote a bad check in his life. So how did he end up with $4,000 in returned checks on an island he’s never been to? He knows one thing, make that two, the bank wants their money, and he’s going to Kauai to track down the crook who stole his checks. Before you can say “welcome to the island,” he’s almost arrested for impersonating himself, the woman who trashed his credit turns up dead, and McKenna feels like he’s up to his ‘umi’umi in hot lava.

Too late, McKenna realizes that some temptations can get you killed.

What the pros say about Kauai Temptations

2014 Mystery and Mayhem Contest Finalist

“More delicious than a Coconut Mocha Frap (and that’s saying something), this rambunctious, character driven whodunit, kept me laughing out loud while I wallowed in the exotic locale beside the engaging amateur sleuth Wilson McKenna as he unraveled a timely case involving identity theft and murder.  Terry Ambrose has penned a truly engaging, page turner of a mystery in Kauai Temptations.” — Jenn McKinlay, New York Times Best Selling Author of the Cupcake Bakery Mysteries and the Library Lover’s Mysteries!

“Kauai Temptations is a fast-paced mystery with quirky characters and loads of island charm. Recipe for a great day at the beach: sunscreen, bamboo mat, mango shave ice, and Kauai Temptations in your beach bag!” — JoAnn Bassett, author of The Islands of Aloha Mystery Series

About the Author
Terry Ambrose

I started out as a skip tracer. Just in case you don't know, that's the guy who finds the people who don't want to be found. It was the little things—getting paid to lie—that made skip tracing the fun part of the job. The other part of my job was to collect money from deadbeats. I must confess, I never personally stole a car, but did sometimes hire big guys with tow trucks to work in the dark and “help” when negotiations failed. Those years of chasing deadbeats taught me many valuable life lessons, such as liars come from all walks of life, and always keep your car in the garage
