Maui Widow Waltz by JoAnn Bassett
![]()
Even ‘death do us part’ couldn’t halt her march down the aisle …
Cash-strapped Maui wedding planner Pali Moon can’t believe her luck when a prospective bride flashing a five-carat dazzler pops into her shop, “Let’s Get Maui’d,” to request a glitzy beach side wedding. But then Pali learns the lavish wedding must take place on Valentine’s Day — only nine days away. Oh, and one other little hitch — the groom’s been missing at sea for more than a week. But no worries, the bride assures Pali, with or without the groom the wedding will take place. She’s struck a deal with the groom’s best friend to be his proxy, if necessary. Two days before the nuptials, a male corpse floats ashore on a South Maui beach. Looks like the groom’s shown up just in time. But what’s it gonna be — a wedding … or a funeral?
This is the FIRST book in the “Islands of Aloha Mystery Series”.

JoAnn Bassett grew up in Seattle, but always preferred palm trees to pine trees. She started a business and raised a son, hoping to someday make a day at the beach an everyday event. In 1996, she and her husband bought a home on Maui, making the dream a reality. She now lives in Southern Arizona most of the year — trading palm trees for saguaros — but she still enjoys writing about life in Hawaii, “the most idyllic islands in the Pacific.”
