Saffron Skye has inherited a little piece of Hawaiian paradise. Only it’s filled with the leftovers of her late uncle’s life and overrun with his enormous flock of chickens. When her new friend, the oldest man in town, dies, no one else finds it suspicious. But as the town’s newest poultry keeper Saffron recognizes fowl play when she sees it. Saffron is a tetrachromat and can see colors nobody else can see. If only she could do the same with killers. To find the culprit--and the victim’s hidden fortune--Saffron will have to look in some surprising places. Even her new flock will lend a wing. With scrumptious island food galore and two handsome men vying for her attention, Saffron has to focus, crack a few eggs . . . and crack the case.

You get some romance with it too. Looking eagerly forward to the next in the series. --- Michael Benson Everything you want in a cozy mystery in a great setting! I thoroughly enjoyed this story and the mystery kept me in suspense right up until the end. If you enjoy cozy mysteries, lovable characters, and descriptions of delicious food , this is the book for you. Just keep in mind, that Avari's food descriptions will make you wish you had access to a Hawaiian cafe. --- Amazon Reviewer Everyone should read this book !!!! Of all ages. It's adorable. Plus you get a bird's eye view of Hawaii (pun intended). I loved it and I think you will too. --- Goodreads Reviewer The author really rewarded the reader by having plenty of mystery, romance, and a big, surprising reveal at the end. There were vivid and extensive descriptions of life on a small Hawaiian island. Reminded me of Death on Nile set in Hawaii. --- Amazon Reviewer What a great read . A very well written story with a bit of romance and mystery. --- Goodreads Reviewer It's Unputdownable! The characters in this lovely landscape are the kind of people you want to spend time with. Smart and funny writing with a compelling mystery--and chickens! --- Amazon Reviewer I didn't know I could like chickens until I read NEST EGG! Ms. Avari provides personalities for them and they stole the spotlight of each scene they were in. It also gave her opportunities for creating some humorous situations which had me clucking...err...chuckling. NEST EGG is an entertaining cozy mystery that captures the magic of Hawaii and makes the reader think about the melting pot of characters long after the last word is written. --- Kim Davis (Cinnamon and Sugar and a Little Bit of Murder blog)
