Paradise has a dark side.
She can’t stop thinking about a drowned girl’s face… because it reminds her of her own.
Overcoming a past filled with scars, Lei makes a life for herself and her dog, Keiki, as a cop in the sleepy Big Island town of Hilo. When a routine patrol turns up two murdered teens, Lei’s world is rocked. She knows one of the girls, and she can’t rest until she finds … girls, and she can’t rest until she finds answers—not only about the victims, but about her own shadowed past as well.
She’ll look so beautiful…once she’s dead.
He knows he’s twisted. He knows he’s wrong. He just doesn’t care. But now there’s a female cop on his trail that won’t give up, and she’s gonna be next.
“Blood Orchids satisfies on every level. A powerful talent is on the scene, whole-heartedly recommended.”-Drew Cross, former police officer, author of BiteMarks

Just could never get into it with the characters-didn’t care about them.
A very good read. I got involved and couldn’t wait to finish the book.
Love this whole series. Working on book 10 now.
Good main character and sidekick.
Awful
I enjoyed reading it and will read more books by Toby Neal.
Enjoyed this book as much for the story as for the characters and their social structure, gave insight into life in a part of the world I know little about.
I grew up in Hawaii, so some of the references and the pidgin english were appealing to me.
I enjoyed this Lei Crime series book. Like the characters and the story kept me interested. When I thought it was near the end I was sorry to see it, but then the author continued on and I really enjoyed that.
Great story. Need to read more. I read four of the series and I am looking forward to reading more.
It was great to get a local view of the area that is now being devastated by the volcano–what it used to be like, I mean.
Started reading this book without know that it was a series, I had trouble when first reading it but once I got into it, I read it all the next day. THEN, I saw there was a total of 12 books in the series!! I am now on book THREE!! Can’t wait to begin the next book!
Fabulous quick read
I’ve read Toby Neal’s box set “Lei Crime Series ,books 1 to 4 “. Ihave been very entertained and pleased with her stories in a Hawaii setting! Thank you for your excellent , thrilling and exciting tales, Toby Neal!
Toby Neal will make you want to visit the beach, even if there are a few dead bodies in the way, in her Lei Crime series!
Exciting story with great flawed characters who are motivated to succeed.
i love this book i would like to rent it if i had so money
Loved this book. I don’t normally like crime novels and found this very entertaining. The author does a wonderful job with painting an image in your head with the wonderful description. Storyline was good too, highly recommend reading the next book in the series, Torched Ginger.
Great fast moving book. Very descriptive and not lengthy sentences!! Over all a really good book 🙂
Well written and engaging.
