House Without a Key (Version 2)

Earl Derr Biggers

A murder mystery unfolds beneath Hawaiian palms in this classic Charlie Chan adventure. Bostonian John Quincy Winterslip arrives in Honolulu determined to coax his eccentric aunt Minerva back to proper New England society. Instead, he finds himself entangled in the murder of a disgraced Boston socialite who has made Hawaii her home. With the brilliant Detective Charlie Chan at his side, John Quincy must navigate both murder and mai tais as he falls deeper into the islands' seductive atmosphere. He meets an attractive young woman who opens his eyes to a world far from his straitlaced Boston life, and must ultimately choose between his rigid upbringing and a new existence far from everything he once knew. The mystery satisfies, but what lingers is the transformation of a man who came to rescue his aunt and ended up rescuing himself.
