Wow, this was a tough one! I didn't finish it last night before my bath and there are three that I can't think what the right answer might be.

1,;inquisitive on vacation after seeing that small swimsuit . I have ? o?s?e.  The only thing I can think of is 'cossie' which is what many of us call our costume. But that's me clutching on straws!
2. In the midst of wrongdoing property gets developed. I have ?e?t?t?d. The only word I can think of is gestatedbut I can't think of any reason why it would be the answer.

3. Couple in bar turning round making you jump . It's only four letters I have a?e? No idea which of the many words which fit is the best one! 
 

As usual, all help gratefully received.

Cossie - 'i(nquisitiv)e' (on vacation, after) 'cos' (because; seeing that) + 's(mall)'

[newmodarmy]

i(nquistiv)e on vacation is ie

small is s

that leaves cos. Still pondering over that
