Murder at Pearl Harbor (Mysteries in Time Series) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I began this book with great anticipation, but ended with much disappointment. I thought the book had a good premise; however, it just didn't work for me.
In this story everything that happens before Gwen goes to Pearl Harbor could be left out, or summerized in a sentence or two because none of it is explained or really makes any difference in the end.
Who is Charlie Bauer and what is his connection to Gwen's friend Jill? We never find out.
Who exactly did Gwen beat over the head with her unbrella? Don't know.
How did anyone find out that Quon had given the intercepted message to Sammy and Sammy in turn to Gwen? No telling.
Who ran down Sammy and Quon, and whatever happened to Sammy? The list of unanswered questions goes on and on.
But perhaps the biggest question of all is: Why would Gwen wear a NAVY skirt with BLACK pumps?
All kidding aside, I would give this author another chance. The parts of this story that were good were very good. It was clear the author researched his subject and for the most part it was well thought out and clear. I just wanted all the loose ends tied up by the end.
