Fans of the Daniel "Hawk" Fishinghawk Mystery series (actually there are only two novel so far) or just fans of Easter Island will want to pick up Award-winning author, Gary D. Conrad’s thriller,Murder on Easter Island, where the protagonist, Daniel “Hawk” Fishinghawk, who is a detective is brought in to Easter Island to help solve the cannibal type murders of several tourists.

The storyline is fascinating; Easter Island is one of the most remote places in the world, and most readers won’t have visited that area of the world, but after reading this may want to take a big trip there. Conrad has done an excellent job of researching the area so it seems real. He also does an excellent job of developing his characters. Hawk is the kind of detective that anyone solving a crime wants on his team.
Conrad has a knack for storytelling, and this one will keep the interest of every reader and keep them on the edge. There is plenty of building suspense, as well as twists and turns that are quite unexpected. The dénouement is certainly surprising.
All told, readers who like mysteries that occur in places like Easter Island that are remote and unusual will want to read this novel.

Special thanks to NetGalley for supplying a review copy of this book.

I was unable to connect with this book unfortunately so decided not to review

I loved the characters and history. This was hard to put down. I was really proud since I am of Cherokee ancestry and lived in Oklahoma. Not sure why, I guess I just felt in tune to the character.
