Burned out by high-profile murders in New York and his love life splashed all over Page Six, homicide cop Charlie Crawford heads south and signs on with the Palm Beach PD. After months of petty crimes, he’s first on scene to find a man hanging from a banyan tree. Prime suspects are a hedge-fund billionaire with a thing for young girls and a bartender with a sketchy past and a ten-out-of-ten creep … creep factor. Right in the middle of it all is Crawford’s girlfriend, a beautiful, conniving gallery owner, ready to do whatever it takes to move up a bracket or two. Add to the mix a sultry real estate broker who knows where all the bodies are buried, a gorgeous forensic cop often one step ahead of Crawford, a Mutt and Jeff combo of stone cold killers and you’ve got Palm Beach Nasty. “Turner’s Palm Beach is a blend of desperate criminals, social climbers, merciless billionaires and surprising heroes,” said Publishers Weekly. “Taut and efficient,” Booklist said, and added, “it’s a pleasure to watch craftsmen at work, and that describes the author as well as the cops.”

This was my first Tom Turner book and the first book in the Charlie Crawford Palm Beach Mystery series. I’m hooked. A delightful read, entertaining, nicely paced, with wonderful characters. The story had a lot of angles that kept me guessing until the end. Grab a copy, sit back and enjoy!
entertaining read looking forward to the next book in the series
This book is about a detective who is after a very wealthy killer.
Good read
Ok
Great book. Must read.
A very good read. Twists and turns!
Good read if you are looking for something light.
This is the first book in the series. Fortunately it was not the first one I read. I thought the plot was good, but the ending was terrible. Fortunately the books later in the series get better.
This story caught my attention right from the beginning. The story unfolded just like any person who want the easy way out rather than earn it. Many funny spots. Easy to read but hard to put down, i read it in two settings
Great read!
This hot shot detective from New York, transferred to Florida, was interesting and kept my interest. I would read this author again.
A light easy read. Great time filler.
Palm Beach Nasty is the first book in Tom Turner’s series featuring police detective Charlie Crawford. I’d read Palm Beach Bedlam (book 8) previously, so I was interested in seeing how the series opened. Palm Beach Nasty did not disappoint. It was a fun read and effectively develops the key characters and overall ambiance of the series. So if you like straight-ahead, fast-paced thrillers with a Florida vibe, you might want to give this series a look.
Could not put this down.
Two mysteries in one. Exciting and suspenseful with amusing characters.
Great book
Great read. Kept my attention the whole way through.
