Blood Orchids, first in this series, on sale for .99 for a limited time only!Paradise hides darkness behind a beautiful face.The teen in the car at the base of the cliff is no suicide.When a nameless young girl is found in a crashed vehicle on the rocks of one of Maui’s black lava cliffs, Detective Lei Texeira can’t rest until she finds out what really happened. She blazes through all the wealth … rest until she finds out what really happened. She blazes through all the wealth and poverty of Maui island society in her quest for justice even as she faces the personal demons of commitment and revenge that threaten the only real love she’s ever known.
That girl should never have crossed me.
I know who I am—a procurer of beautiful things for people who can afford them. Men and women for pleasure, fine art for collectors, and money for the mob. Lei Texeira is nothing but an annoyance. I’ll take everything she loves, burn down her house, and take her life, too…just because I can.

i have all the Tony’s books so far, kept me reading all day
I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and it took me back to my days in Hawai’i. The descriptions are so real, and the story is exciting and unpredictable. A definite 5 stars!
Enjoyed the Hawaiian setting for a mystery.
More character growth, secrets revealed and mysteries solved. I’m enjoying these so much I’m on a binge and again, I’ve already read the next book in the series.
Really like the setting of this book and the whole series of Lei Crimes in Hawaii. Like that the characters are not all Caucasians. Like the cultural and scenic references. Like the romance. Like how the mystery unfolds and gets solved.
Keeps you going back for more
I love this series, and this is the third book of the series that I’ve read. Wonderful writing!
Enjoying this series!!
Toby Neal’s characters are well developed and believable. I am a committed fan and eagerly look forward to the next book in the series. If you haven’t read her work you are missing one of the best of today’s authors.
My first book of this series (thank God), which I found to be insipid. The female cop lead is an emotional cripple and the male cop is just to needy. Significant issues are brought up and never addressed (how/why the pet guard dog let the house be booby trapped). The cops don’t apprehend the bad guys, who off each other in a rushed “surprise” …
I have enjoyed toby neal s book for quite awhile. They’re always fun to read and hard to put down.
It’s hard to imagine the mayhem and nefarious things that will go on in Paradise! This book will take you there, there are heroes and lunatics, throw them in a blender and see what happens! It’s a good story and written smooth and fast! If you’re a fan of action, crime, twisted storylines you definitely need to get this book oh, I will be getting …
This book has a good storyline with great characterizing of the protagonist, flawed as she was. Not everything turns out perfectly, even in paradise.
Have read several of Toby Neal’s book and have enjoyed them all . Love a strong female character and Lei is just great . She seems to do everything right in her work life and have some very real issues in her personal life. Will keep watching for more of this series .
I like that his characters crossover and interact in each others stories. Plus when you have Hawaii as a backdrop, how bad could it be. I’ve read quite a few of Neale’s book based in Hawaii and enjoyed them all.
Loved the book. Good author
Good series to read!
I loved this book and I love the author
I’m hooked on this series. Excellent author.
I’ve enjoyed the adventure since book 1. The characters are strong and love the Hawaiian location. I feel like I know my way around.
