Waters of destruction / by Karst, Leslie,author.(CARDINAL)625693;
"After a vacation of a lifetime in Hilo, Hawai'i, retired caterer Valerie Corbin and her wife Kristen have decided to move permanently to the beautiful--if storm-prone--Big Island. The couple are having fun furnishing their new house, exploring their new neighborhood and playing with their new little dog, Pua. But while they've made good friends with local restaurant manager Sachiko and her partner Isaac, they can't help but feel a little lonely. So when Sachiko begs Val to fill in for a member of her bar team who's gone AWOL, Val dusts off her cocktail shaker and happily agrees. It's a great chance to meet more people--and learn the local gossip. Such as about Hank, the missing bartender, who vanished after a team-building retreat at a local beauty spot a week ago, and hasn't been seen since. Until, that is, his body turns up at the bottom of the waterfall, and the police seem very interested in where Sachiko was at the time of his death. Sachiko couldn't have killed him... could she? Val dives into the murky waters of the case, determined to find out."--

A sense for murder / by Karst, Leslie,author.(CARDINAL)625693;
It's the height of the tourist season in Santa Cruz, California, and Sally Solari has her hands full, both juggling crowds of hungry diners at her French-Polynesian restaurant Gauguin, as well as appeasing her father, who's distressed at the number of homeless people camped out in front of Solari's, the family's Italian seafood restaurant out on the historic fisherman's wharf. Nevertheless, when Sally gets the opportunity to volunteer at a farm-to-table dinner taking place at the hip new restaurant and culinary bookshop Pages and Plums, she seizes the chance. Not only is it a fundraiser for an organization aiding the homeless and seniors, but up for auction at the event is a signed boxset of Mastering the Art of French Cooking by Sally's hero, the renowned chef Julia Child. But then the Pages and Plums dining room manager turns up dead--the locked cabinet containing the precious books now empty--and the irrepressible Sally once again finds herself up to her neck in a criminal investigation. She may have a sense for murder, but can Sally outwit a devious killer with a taste for French cooking before the villain makes mincemeat of her, too?
