"Hawaiian Wildflower" tells the story of Maylea Kanaka, a beautiful young woman who leaves Hawaii for Lubbock, Texas.

Intended for adult audiences, cozy mysteries often take a lighthearted approach to crime-solving that prioritizes puzzles over violence. One common feature of the genre is an amateur sleuth solving crimes within a small community. Cozy mysteries typically see a rise in popularity in the fall and winter, when individuals spend more time indoors reading. Their absence of strong language, violence, or adult themes makes them popular holiday gifts.
Squeaky clean titles like "Hawaiian Wildflower" have helped to boost religious book sales by 18.5 percent for 2024, data from the Association of American Publishers shows. It's the third most popular category in the market, comprising 10.3 percent of sales in the category.
