Product Description THE BEACH... A breathtakingly beautiful supermodel disappears from a swimsuit photo shoot at the most glamorous hotel in Hawaii. Only hours after she goes missing, Kim McDaniels's parents receive a terrifying phone call. Fearing the worst, they board the first flight to Maui and begin the hunt for their daughter.
...WILL NEVER BE... Ex-cop Ben Hawkins, now a reporter for the L.A. Times, gets the McDaniels assignment. The ineptitude of the local police force defies belief--Ben has to start his own investigation for Kim McDaniels to have a prayer. And for Ben to have the story of his life.
...THE SAME FOR YOU AGAIN. All the while, the killer sets the stage for his next production. His audience expects the best--and they won't be disappointed. Swimsuit is a heart-pounding story of fear and desire, transporting you to a place where beauty and murder collide and unspeakable horrors are hidden within paradise.

WOW!!!! June 10, 2010 Lori Caswell (FALL RIVER, WI) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Paperback Release June 15, 2010
My comments below are based on the hardcover edition.
Kim McDaniels has taken some time off from college to do a little modeling in Hawaii. She never shows up for the second day of the photo shoot. Only hours after she goes missing her parents receive a terrifying phone call, that makes them catch the first flight to Hawaii to find their daughter.
Ben Hawkins, an ex-cop, now L.A. Times reporter, is sent to Hawaii to cover the story. He can't believe how the local police are handling the case, they think Kim is just off somewhere with a guy. Ben decides to get the story and hopefully find Kim, he needs to put his "cop hat" back on and investigate for himself. Little does he know this will lead him to the biggest story in his life.
The kidnapper/killer continues to perform for his audience and people keep dying in some very gruesome ways to keep the entertainment at an all time high.
I LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At the end of this book I sat up and said WOW!!! The book is spellbinding, riveting, edge of your seat, a mind bending thriller. I was drawn in from first page until the last. I had read some reviews panning this book and all I can say is they must have read a different book or this was not their genre. This book is a book you will not put down and even when you finish it you won't be able to forget about it.

What's the problem?? December 27, 2009 M. Hoppe (Tennessee) 2 out of 3 found this review helpful
I can't understand all the negative reviews of this book, especially those complaining about how graphic and gory it was. Did you read the jacket? Surely you were aware you were about to read a MURDER MYSTERY? Were you expecting cotton-candy fluff?
I have read a lot of Patterson's books, I am a fan of his stand-alone novels, not necessarily the Cross and Murder Club series. I thought this book was fantastic, it was a very quick read, once I started on Christmas evening I was unable to put it down. I logged about 300 pages and finished up the next day.
I have to say its one of my favorite recent reads and I just logged on to the reviews out of curiosity and was very surprised by the negative reviews. I don't know what's not to like, its quick moving, descriptive, succint, and leaves you wanting more. An A+ in my book.
Good Seller December 15, 2009 Rachael Peck (FL USA) Good Seller, prompt delivery and fast service. Product in good condition like specified. Would order from again.
