Treasure in Paradise (A Tj Jensen Mystery) (Volume 7)
By: Kathi Daley
Rating: 5 of 5
I had read the first book in this series and wanted to see what TJ was up to. I had a little difficulty in synching up with the series and, because of that, I recommend that the books in this series be read in order. Whole relationships had come and gone. I will certainly go back and purchase the five books in between as I was really engrossed in this story.
TJ and her entourage have left Paradise to mind a resort in South Carolina. She is helping out an old friend and allowing her father and his fiancee some time on their own. Family members, friends and pets are all along for the ride. Little did they know that they would happen upon a dead body almost immediately.
Was it murder or was it simply an inconvenient death? TJ is compelled to investigate. Along the way there are lost treasures, lost memories and lost relationships to recover. It all plays out in a town that is being torn apart by whether or not they should have a huge resort complex built on their quiet little island.
That was one of the interesting things for me by not having read books 2 through 6 in the series. TJ not only investigates but does so in a manner so thorough you would think it is her job. Her family and friends expect her to do so and help her in her investigations. I’m really curious to see how that mentality developed in the series. It is very intriguing to me.
I did not figure out the whodunnit and there were clues and well as red herrings. I like when a mystery leaves me thinking – I should have thought of that angle! I look forward to reading the back list and new books in this series in the future.
I was provided a digital advance reader copy of this book by the publisher via Netgalley.
