“Beaches In Paradise” moves quickly and has one surprise after another as far as plot twists! T.J. Jensen and her boyfriend, Kyle Donovan, work together closely to locate a missing woman plus figure out who she’s been secretly working for and what’s in the encrypted file on her computer that even software expert/hacker Kyle can’t even break into. Then, there’s the question of why a dead man was found in her car? This mystery is first rate with a lot of suspects roaming around Paradise Lake. I like T.J.’s family, and I like that she and Kyle are growing closer—they make a great couple. Pet lovers will enjoy the animals in the story.

I reviewed an ARC provided by NetGalley and Henery Press. Thank you.

'Beaches in Paradise' is another great offering in Kathi Daley's Tj Jensen Mystery series. I was impressed with the loyalty and devotion of Tj to her missing friend Gina, and how well she worked with her boyfriend Kyle to hopefully find Gina alive and well. The mystery was sharp and intriguing and all the surrounding cast of characters engaging. I was put off by the angst about sex. It was too much for me, and too personal. Other than that I'd highly recommend it.

Beaches in Paradise is the ninth book in Kathi Daley’s Tj Jensen Mystery series and is another excellent addition to this mystery series. . I do highly recommend the entire series. This book can be read as a stand alone. Ms. Daley is a wonderful mystery author who captures her reader’s from page one until the last page is turned. The characters are well developed and the story is very well crafted.

This is a excellent mystery with many elements in the sleuth that kept this reader guessing. I love the setting, the people and the mystery the author creates with such well crafted clues . I highly recommend this series and enjoyed this next in series. Thank you to the publisher and Net Galley for the ARC which does not affect my personal opinion. I highly recommend this entire series.

Well done with uncertainty as to just what is happening deftly exposed through build it on facts as they appear

Another wonderful book in this series! There are plenty of twists and turns that will keep you engrossed in the story. This is a well-written cozy mystery.

Tj’s been preparing for the Summer Festival and spending a weekend with her boyfriend, Kyle. There is a murder and one of TJ's friends is a possible suspect. The new hire at the Serenity Sheriff's department, Deputy Kate Baldwin doesn't appreciate help from non-police personnel. While TJ has helped out the Serenity Sheriff's department in the past, but Deputy Baldwin doesn't want TJ involved and has threatened to arrest TJ for hindering an investigation should she get involved. But, as TJ learns that a friend is missing and might be injured, she feels compelled to investigate, and quietly teams up with family and friends to find the missing friend and look into the murder.

A great who-done-it story. Light murder mystery involving an unliked guy and a very well liked gal. Since the police aren't having any luck catching the murderer, an amateur sleuthing couple (friends of the well liked gal and working on their own relationship) work behind the scenes to solve the mystery. This story kept me intrigued right up to the last page. Highly recommend reading this book. Thanks NetGalley for the pre-read of this book before issuance.

Writing flows nicely and there are enough suspects to keep you guessing. Another great cozy mystery from Kathi Daley.

August is wrapping up summer activities. Tj Jensen & Kyle Donovan have decided to take their relationship to a new level but life keeps getting in the way. Tj & Kyle investigate the disappearance of their friend, fellow teacher Gina Roberts. The death of developer Striker Bristow adds another layer of suspects.

Best read in sequence but I believe you could read this as a stand alone as background on each character is lightly touched upon in this episode.

BEACHES IN PARADISE by Kathi Daley a Tj. Jensen mystery
Camp fire party with Kyle and Tj , when asked of where was Gina the math teacher, a murder has happened. Kathi’s books get to the plot line from the beginning. Being this is the ninth in the series, we once again have family and friends to meet up with again. A list of suspects, give this a lot of twists and turns to the plot, and keeps you guessing to the end. Plot flows, for easy enjoyment. Can be read as a stand alone.
Given ARC by Net Galley and Henery Publisher for my voluntary review and my honest option. Will post on July 17

Beaches in Paradise is the ninth book in Kathi Daley’s Tj Jensen Mystery series and is an excellent read. Ms. Daley is an amazing author who captures her reader’s attention with intriguing mysteries, well-plotted storylines, and three-dimensional characters. There are twists and turns and a long list of potential suspects to keep the reader engaged. The characters are well developed and the story flows along at a steady pace. Even though a murder occurs in this book, there is still a lot of focus on family, friends, and community. While this book is part of a series, Ms. Daley provides sufficient character background so that it can be read as a standalone. This cozy series has become one of my favorites, and I'm looking forward to the next book. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading well-crafted cozy mysteries.

Tj Jensen is a coach and physical education teacher at Serenity High School, lives and works part-time at her family’s lakeside resort, Maggie’s Hideaway, and is raising her two half-sisters, Ashley and Gracie. Tj’s been busy preparing for the upcoming Summer Festival at Paradise Lake and looking forward to spending a romantic weekend with her boyfriend, Kyle Donovan. She’s arranged for a reduced work schedule and her best friend Jenna Elston, is taking her daughters, Ashley, and Gracie camping. While attending a bonfire Serenity High School sponsors for the staff before each school year begins, Deputy Kate Baldwin, who’s trying to locate Gina Roberts for questioning in the murder of Striker Bristow, one of the high school’s math teachers, approaches Tj and Kyle. Tj tells Deputy Baldwin she hasn’t seen Gina at the bonfire, but was expecting her to attend. Deputy Baldwin, a new hire at the Serenity Sheriff’s Department, is the polar opposite of her partner, Deputy Roy Fisher. Tj has helped him on previous investigations, but Deputy Baldwin has no use for amateur sleuths and tells TJ she will arrest her for hindering an investigation if she finds out she’s nosing around in her case. When TJ learns her friend is missing and possibly injured, she teams up with family members and friends to find Gina and quietly look into Striker’s death.

i loved the story, i keep me reading to the end. enjoyed the people. i was given acopy by net galley, but this is an honest review. i will review on other sites when they are put up. if you like mystery with real life events and some romance you will like the story

I was excited to return to Paradise Lake and visit with TJ and family. Another festival is starting, but since TJ's dad, Mike, was in an accident, the resort isn't as actively involved this year. That leaves time for TJ to move around town more and focus on her social (OK love) life. She and long time on again off again Hunter are no longer on which opened the door for feelings to be explored between TJ and best friend Kyle. While the feelings are mutual and gaining ground, life keeps getting between any "alone time." Just as they hope to move their relationship to the next, more intimate level, a life or death situation occurs that TJ can not ignore.

This is a clean read with equal parts, mystery, romance and loyalty for friends and family.
The suspect list is smaller than in some cozies but that doesn't mean the mystery is easier to figure out. While this story is a continuation of earlier books in the series, all in filled in as we read so you won't be lost.

Can TJ find her friend in time? Will she and Kyle find time for each other? Is there more going on than at first suspected?
Another fun visit to a loved series. Even with tense moments, I enjoyed following TG's investigation.
