  Knives Out meets Moana in this tropical cozy mystery full of buried secrets, found family, and one very judgmental parrot. 
  Dr. Cassandra Sato can handle just about anything: campus politics, faculty feuds, and a to-do list longer than a freshman advising line. But chaperoning Midwestern students to a Honolulu tech conference? That’s supposed to be a low-key homecoming. Networking. Ocean breezes. Maybe a Mai Tai or two. 
  Trouble, of course, didn’t get the memo. 
  A high-tech contest using virtual reality to “time travel” through a century-old cold case sounds harmless enough… until Cassandra learns one of the victims is family. 
  Soon the clues start whispering stories no history book dared to print, including a handmade quilt hiding a royal secret. Uncovering the truth could rewrite her family’s history and put a target on her back. With a cold case ready to burn hot, sometimes the biggest mystery is figuring out where you really belong. 
  With her brilliant misfit students, a fiercely loyal parrot, and friends who feel more like family, Cassandra must solve the case before she becomes a footnote in its bloody history. 
  Because in Hawai‘i, ohana means nobody gets left behind or forgotten. 
  Can Cassandra keep that promise when the past comes for her too? 
  Homecoming Homicide is perfect for fans of academic drama, island intrigue, and smart sleuths who bring lost voices to light.
