  <default-description>Kim, a breathtakingly beautiful supermodel on a photo shoot in Hawaii, disappears. Fearing the worst, her parents travel to Hawaii to investigate for themselves, never expecting the horror that awaits them.

&lt;I&gt;LA Times &lt;/I&gt;reporter Ben Hawkins is conducting his own research into the case, hoping to help the victim and get an idea for his next bestseller. With no leads and no closer to uncovering the kidnapper's identity than when he stepped off the plane, Ben gets a shocking visit that pushes him into an impossible-to-resist deal with the devil.

A heart-pounding story of fear and desire, SWIMSUIT transports readers to a chilling new territory where the collision of beauty and murder transforms paradise into a hell of unspeakable horrors.</default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[I generally like pretty much anything I read. It is hard to tell how much of this book was really Patterson and how much was Paetro.<br/><br/>So, the general underlying theme of this whodunit is pretty gruesome ... which was actually not a huge turnoff. However, the plot development just seemed to...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/63387895">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I was shocked by the brutality of this book. I am not squeamish with my murder mysteries, but the first half of this book was nothing but one grusome murder after another. Very little plot at all in this first half, just sickening death after death. I cannot imagine why Patterson thought his loyal f...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/62261250">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[If I could give this book negatives stars I would. This is the worst book I have ever finished. The violent pornographic killing of a young woman left me sick to my stomach and left an image in my mind I wish terribly was not stuck.

    <body><![CDATA[I would agree that Patterson is sub par as an author, not terrible but certainly not exceptional.  But there is no doubt that his books are an enjoyable quick read, fairly light.  Swimsuit is just okay, it could be better but the problem is the events have essentially already happened and the book i...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/68899603">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[As usual, Patterson provides a novel that you cannot put down---so, all housework and relationships were avoided in an attempt to discover if the killer, Henri Benoit, is caught by the police.  What a terrible man---and supposedly he was beaten as a child.  The newspaper writer/cop, Ben Hawkins, rac...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/70295303">more...</a>]]></body>
