A Snake in Paradise by Eden Baylee

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I am familiar with Eden Baylee's work having read a few of her short stories and her novel Stranger at Sunset. I've always enjoyed her work. She's a very skilled author. The descriptive quality of her writing puts the reader in the characters' shoes and evokes imagery so that it almost feels as if you are watching the action.

I was not familiar with the Lei Crime series and understand that these books are only available from Amazon.com at the moment. The author kindly gifted a copy to me so that I could read it.

A Snake in Paradise is a quick read that has a lot of depth. Lainey Lee is a 49-year-old woman who is newly divorced. She travels to Hawaii, somewhere she has always wanted to visit. The prologue sets the scene for some kind of criminal activity but doesn't give too much away. We then follow Lainey on her trip as she meets up with many interesting characters. This story will keep you guessing, and as it unfolds it becomes clear that this paradise destination is not as heavenly as it first seemed.

I enjoyed this story and would describe it as a page turner because it's the kind of book that you want to carry on reading to find out what happens next.
