And where is her hunky on-again/off-again boyfriend detective when she needs him? Laurel zip-lines and four-wheels her way through the island paradise unearthing long hidden secrets. Will ingenuity and pluck be enough? Or will this hula be her last? "Laurel McKay could serve as the poster girl for a normal suburban soccer mom except for one thing.
