When the Tropical Tan Corporation descends on Maggie’s Hideaway, the lakeside resort where Tj Jensen lives, she must juggle a bikini contest, a BBQ cook-off, a missing model, and a dead chaperone while her father is out of town.

Lead Deputy Dylan Caine is on vacation while his sister is visiting, leaving Assistant Deputy Roy Fisher in charge. When Roy asks Tj for her help, they find there may be more going on than anyone realized.

With Kyle and Jenna’s help, they dig into the lives of those involved, only to find a mystery more complex than anything they could ever have imagined.

About the Author

Kathi Daley lives with her husband, kids, grandkids, and Bernese mountain dogs in beautiful Lake Tahoe. When she isn't writing, she likes to read (preferably at the beach or by the fire), cook (preferably something with chocolate or cheese), and garden (planting and planning, not weeding). She also enjoys spending time on the water when she's not hiking, biking, or snowshoeing the miles of desolate trails surrounding her home. Kathi uses the mountain setting in which she lives, along with the animals (wild and domestic) that share her home, as inspiration for her cozy mysteries.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pure Paradise!

Kathi Daley is such a delight to read. Her Tj Jensen mysteries are so well written. She combines a strong female lead character with very good and reliable, what I refer to as secondary characters, and gives you a terrific story each and every time. They all have very good mysteries that always leave you saying, gee, I didn't see that coming! She includes a bit of romance without it being vulgar which I really like. This story was about a missing young person and a contest for a tanning lotion company. Funny in spots, amusing in most places, and I smiled all the way throughout the book. Can't wait to start Book #4.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good installment in the Paradise Lake series.
Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2015

Kathi Daley writes two (well three now, but I'm waiting until the new series comes out for my Nook) small town cozy mystery series and the Paradise Lake series is my favorite.

Tj is a youngish woman with responsibilities. She is raising her two half-sisters, with the help of her father and grandfather. She also runs a resort, again with her father and (semi-retired) grandfather, and she is a caring teacher/high school coach. She genuinely cares about people and helping those less fortunate.

In this installment there is a bikini/tanning lotion spokes model contest at the resort and on the first day one model disappears and Tj discovers a dead body in the lake. Just your regular work day.

The mystery was not easily solved in this one and the good guys and bad guys are maybe not as good (or bad) as they may seem. The only negative is that this book ends with a mystery and I don't like to be left up in the air (of course, I'm not because I have actually already read the next book).

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun reading…
Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2014

This was a really fun story to read. Two individuals missing from check-in at a bikini contest provide the mystery: one is later found anchored in the deep waters of the cove; however, the whereabouts of the other prove the more disturbing situation.
You'll enjoy Kathi's characters, who are fun & believable. And you'll develop a soft spot for the young sister of the missing contestant; a child with secrets and tragedies of her own, that Tj takes under her wing.
So much happens in this story that little more can be said without spoiling something along the way if much detail is discussed. Suffice to say that you will not be disappointed in this light, frolicking adventure.
And, as always, Kathi has ensured that it is not inappropriate for even the youngest readers in your household, while maintaining curiosity and interest of adult readers. That's one of the things I like best about Kathi's stories. And though I love reading more intense authors (Dean Koontz, Julie Smith, DJ Donaldson, Willow Rose,....), I find I NEED the refreshing respite of a good mystery, a good book, that does not have you biting your nails while your tummy is tied up in knots: Kathi always provides.

That said, I am ashamed to admit almost feeling cheated when I realized that this book has no
recipes in the back! I know only the Zoe Donnovan books have recipes, but, still, I was disappointed. How could I be so petty!?! Kathi gave us a great book! The recipes are a bonus, not in any way essential to nor expected from the book, and certainly almost unique to Kathi's books alone.
And then it struck me: I look forward to the opportunities for getting out of the ruts of our usual family recipes, those we cook habitually, without forethought. I look forward to the changes provided by Kathi's recipes: changes I can make and KNOW they'll receive a warm reception, being liked and appreciated; that I won't have to hear, "couldn't you have just left well enough alone?"
Soooo… My thanks to Kathi for another GREAT book, and my pleas for this to be the last time recipes are omitted! Doesn't Tj deserve good eats, too!?!

I could not wait for this book to come out. I loved every page and could not put it down. Kathi Daley got my interest peaked right away when TJ once again found a body. A very complicated murder and missing person plot developed. I was pleased to hear about all the characters as they reappeared in this book. Just like catching up with old friends. I liked that not much time had not elapsed since book two (Snowmen in Paradise) ended. If you have not read this book as well as the first one (Pumpkins in Paradise) you will want to. However the author gives you a good introduction and and background to each character in Bikinis in Paradise. The plot is tricky and goes in several directions. I was going carefully through each page for clues. Never figured it out which makes it a superior book. There are changes coming for TJ....Now I am sorry I am finished and wishing for the next one. You will understand after you this read book. I have read every thing Kathi Daley has written and this is as fine as all of her books. Can't wait for more!

A really good read and the characters are always interesting. The story is intriguing and the concept is good. The ending was so sad though.

It was a good story that kept me questing til the end. I love how she throws suspicion on other characters to throw the reader off. Really enjoyed having new characters introduced that continued in other books.

Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2021

I read the cozy mysteries not only for the challenge of solving them but to feel good. I did not like that one of the major characters was written out in that particular manner. It almost seems as if the author got stuck on a story line and had to fix what she had started by eliminating one. Contrary to what is written, these are not stand alone stories and do have a cliffhanger which is what I definitely don't want to read. I found myself more annoyed than sad. The whole departure of Dylan and his handing her off to Hunter was insulting.

Loved it! Kathi Daley writes so well that you feel like you are in the story. I love the family feel of the story and how they always look out for each other. I would love to be able to visit Maggie's Hideaway it seems like the perfect place to go for a getaway well minus the murder.
