John Puller is on vacation from his duties as a CID officer for the Army when his father, receives a letter from Betsy Simon. Betsy Simon is Puller's aunt, and was instrumental in his upbringing while his father served as a General in the Army. The letter instantly puts Puller on high alert and he heads to Paradise, FL to check on his aunt. When he arrives, he finds that she has died in her backyard and the local police have written it off as an accident. Puller does not believe this to be true, despite his aunt's ailments and age. Conducting his own investigation, he is determined to find out what happened to his aunt and what is going on in Paradise that had her so rattled.

Another gripping John Puller novel from David Baldacci. Even on vacation, Puller can't escape crime. He thought he would go down to Paradise, FL and just be able to talk to his aunt about what was troubling her in the letter she sent to his father. She did ask for his help in the letter, but Puller never expected she would be killed for it. While investigating his aunt's murder, more people end up dead, friends of his aunts, and people go missing. Things just don't seem to be so great in Paradise after all. With the help of the local police, Puller tries to get to the bottom of what is going on. Are the police in on the disappearances of people? Are they trying to cover up what really happened to his aunt by calling her death an accident?

During this investigation, Puller finds out some disturbing happenings in Paradise. Will the local police accept his help to get to the bottom of it or is this small town in on the whole thing.

Good cast
Trouble in paradise
A very good thriller, with some twists and suspense. The only real problem is there are some big plot holes in the story that really don't add up by the end of film. That aside it's a well made film and enjoyable to watch.

Good start
Paradise PD is about a small-town police department. They are a pretty useless bunch, from a policewoman with a fat fetish who sexually harasses an overweight policeman, to a police dog with a drug habit and a a rookie who is the son of the Police Chief.

An absolute classic...mostly!
This will always be one of my favourite albums, always fun and memorable, featuring Meat Loaf's best known songs.


The songwriting from Jim Steinman is outstanding, and the music always has a great amount energy, whether the song is fast or slow.

For me personally, the only track that lets the album down is "Paradise by the Dashboard Light", which starts off fine, but is ruined at the point Ellen Foley comes in. Foley herself is not to blame, but at this point the song becomes repetitive and silly, particularly the part with the baseball commentary running through "bases".
