Enjoyed the entire series
I have read many of the Paradise Crime series by Toby Neal, I always find them entertaining, fast paced, many twists and turns, filled with suspense & so much action. Also, always very likable characters especially ex FBI agent Lei Texeira & new husband Lieutenant Michael Stevens. Both to experience parenthood sooner than planned along with …
Great multiple story lines with good characters dealing with personal as well as work related issues in a realistic manner. I loved the inclusion of prayer and discussion of God in their lives.
This entire series is fantastic. This rates (my opinion) right up with Cussler, Balducci, Coben, and Rollins. I am going to read the rest of this collection as I really like all the books so far.
Toby Neal is one of my favorite authors.
A good read up until the end. I wished the book was longer.
Interesting. I enjoy Toby Neal’s books and have read almost all of them. I like learning about the Hawiian traditions, as well as following the characters in the book.
Set in Hawian islands, with an attractive caste, a fast moving police detective fiction stand allone, but part of a series.
Another good read by this author. An interesting look into Hawaiian culture.
I couldn’t put this book down. Action packed!

Since I have visit three of the Islands I have fallen in love with their beauty, the sounds of the ocean, the lapping of the waves on the sand. The series drew me in from the very beginning. I am trying to make sure I read them in order and even those I read out of order, …

Engaging characters and rapidly moving story line made this an exciting read. Time to pick up the rest of the series.
