Reseñas de la Crítica

"Another fantastic mystery featuring Lei Texeira and the wonderful, deftly drawn characters populating the Lei Crime Series. Toby Neal just keeps getting better, and Rip Tides is my new favorite." (Emily Kimelman, author of the Sydney Rye Mystery Series)

This title caught my attention quickly. Great title for this story.

Such a great ending. I never seen that coming!!!!!! I love the Hawaiian setting and the Hawaiian tongue used.

What a tradegy. A surfer at the prime of his career is murdered

Throughout this book the maincharacter dies right away and people who were his lovers, friends, amd enemies are investigated. It goes to show as the song says, "There's a Thin Line Between Love and Hate."

Absolutely perfect!

Toby Neal writes incredible characters. They are strong and smart, but also imperfect and relatable. Her plots are subtle, often with great plot twists. This book is extra special for me because I share a name with one of the main characters, but I love every book of hers that I have read!

OK book.

Did not like the narrator accent. I don't think I would like another book by this author. I would like to remove it from my library.

Excellent Novel

This was my first Toby Neal novel and I was not disappointed with this "new to me" author. The novel had wonderful visuals that brought back my own time in the islands, and the plot was not only interesting, but kept you guessing right to the end. I'm looking forward to more from this author.

Another hit in this series.

The series continues, expanding the characters. Sara Malia Hatfield does a great interpretation of this story, providing entertainment with the reading. Hawaii is depicted as the tourist never sees it. This is a series I look forward to listening to or reading and am looking forward to reading the next in the series.

Keeps getting better & better

Rip Tides (Lei Crime Series Book 9) continues the personal stories of Hawaiian police detectives-- Lei Texeira and her husband Michael Stevens -- as well as the latest homicide case in which a surfing star has drowned under suspicious circumstances.

I can't get enough of Lei, Michael and their extended family. Narrator Sara Malia Hatfield enhances the experience with her wonderful performance, capturing the characters and the island dialect.

Good crime story

A good crime mystery with interesting characters. The plot is believable starting with the possible murder of a celebrity surfer. SGT Lei Texeira and her partner skillfully solve the crime despite lack of strong evidence.

Second book read to me.

What did you like best about Rip Tides? What did you like least?

The story was good. I did not like the man voice the reader Sara Hatfield used. It was hard to understand it. So I am going back to read my own books.

Would you be willing to try another one of Sara Malia Hatfield’s performances?

No. I did not like the man voice the reader Sara Hatfield used. It was hard to understand it.

Not bad

Unknowingly I picked up book 9 in a series. This put me at a disadvantage as I didn't know the back story which was referenced often. I thought the narrator did a good job with female voices, however her native Hawaiian male voices sounded guttural and mumbling. I rewound frequently trying to understand. Lei's husband was referenced as "Stephens" even by her. I thought this odd later finding out his first name was Micheal. Fairly interesting story, don't know If I'd rush to pick up another unless it was a bargain price.
