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.

 A good beach book - if you like gore and a non-satisfying ending August 31, 2010
John L. Viescas (Paris, France)
Good beach book? Maybe. The chapters are all very short, so it's easy to get to the end of a chapter, put the book down, and go jump in the water. But if you're squeamish, be forwarned there's lot of nasty gore - snuff sex and more. I did get into the main character enough - a journalist / ex-cop - to want to read to the end of the book to find out what happens, but the end, written as a very short epilogue, is completely unsatisfying. One gets the feeling that the authors were up against some publishing deadline and simply wrapped things up. This won't win any literary awards for sure. If you decide to give it a go, find a used copy in a half-price bookstore. It certainly wasn't worth the full 10 Euro price I paid in an airport bookstore.
 Middle of the road.... August 26, 2010

This latest book from Patterson was just ok. It was left at my job by a co-worker so I started reading it at work when it was slow. Honestly the first third of the book really didn't reel me in other than the fact that I had nothing else to do at work. By the time I made it to about page 150 I was hooked though. I finished it quickly after that and felt that the pacing and intrigue definitely picked up. Was it his best book? No. Then again, how can he create an amazing book when he has a new one coming out nearly every 2-3 months. People seemed to complain about the violence and while that aspect didn't bother me, it might affect others. If you were to view this book as a movie, it would be rated as a hard R, no doubt. The way I view this book is that there are so many bad movies out there that this definitely surpassed them in terms of the story, it just seems the execution of it could have been altered to make a more engrossing and detailed book. Patterson seems to be focused on pacing rather than detailing which makes it a fun, casual read if this genre interests you. I'm still a huge fan of his though and will continue to check out his newest books.

This book kept my interest throughout even though there were no real events that gave me the "wow" factor. However, the ending of the book was so awful that I actually threw it across the room b/c it was the biggest waste of my time. They set this book up to have a potentially great ending and it failed miserably. There were also far too many unnecessary killings, that I feel the authors just threw them in there to give the book more substance. VERY DISAPPOINTING!
Bad title for a bad book... August 18, 2010
Vince A. (Chicago, IL USA)
I won't retread on much of what I've seen from other reviews, but this book was probably one of the most "un-thrilling" thrillers that I've ever read. The book had 122 chapters and I think that the air was let out of the book by chapter 15 or so. I kept reading imagining that there had to be something more that would take place to bring some level of "WOW", but chapter after chapter left me saying "so what..."
The book had a lot of potential, but one of the biggest points to a suspense book is drawing you in and connecting you with the characters and there was never more than a surface level connection with any of the characters. Additionally, it's safe to say that anything that was supposed to be intense on any level was underwhelming to say the least.
I don't feel that as a reviewer that I should recap the book, but more so share my impression. My impression of this is that it needed to be totally re-done before it saw the light of day. Definitely not the worst book that I've ever read, but certainly a waste of time. Skip it...
VERY Disturbing! Not his best AT ALL ... August 11, 2010
Retro
I have only just started reading this book and to say I'm shocked is an understatement! The rape, violence and murder in the opening chapters is chilling and incredibly disturbing, not at all gripping or exciting as most murder mysteries should be. To me, the storyline is sick and twisted, and I don't think I can actually bring myself to finish it. It's left a sour after taste I'm afraid .....
