The story centers on Dillon West and his relationship with Maylea Kanaka, whose attractive appearance and manner initially draw him in but potentially conceal something sinister. After a murder in West's hometown of Lubbock, Texas, his suspicions about Maylea grow, prompting him to conduct his own investigation. As West delves deeper into Maylea's past, he uncovers connections between her arrival from Hawaii and the subsequent crime, forcing him to question everything he thought he knew about her.
The 282-page novel has received a 4.5-star rating on Amazon. Readers commend the book for its compelling storyline and resolution, with one noting they "could hardly put it down until I finished it." Another reviewer described it as "action-packed" with an unexpected ending that adds to the satisfaction of the reading experience.
A lifelong West Texas resident, Johansen taught Chemistry, Integrated Physics, and 7th Grade Science before retiring and pursuing her passion for writing. Her work combines entertainment value with faith-based perspectives, demonstrating that mysteries can be engaging while maintaining moral foundations. This approach fills a gap for readers who appreciate the suspense and intellectual challenge of mystery novels but prefer content aligned with Christian values.
Johansen's approach to mystery writing follows in the tradition of authors like Agatha Christie, whom she admires for creating compelling mysteries without relying on offensive language or explicit content. This philosophy informs all her work, including "Hawaiian Wildflower," making it accessible to a wide audience of mystery readers.
Wordsmith World published the novel, which is available as a $12.00 paperback and in Kindle format. The publisher notes that the story offers both mystery and moral resolution within a framework of Christian principles, where good ultimately triumphs over evil and justice prevails.
