Overview

A sizzling new thriller—hotter than THE BEACH HOUSE and scarier than KISS THE GIRLS.

FBI agent John O’Hara is on a hunt to find a coldblooded killer. A number of rich men have come to mysterious ends, and when a young writer dies of an alleged heart attack, John turns a probing eye to the only witness—the writer’s lovely and secretive widow. Nora Sinclair, a beautiful interior decorator, has the life most people can only dream about. She lives in a luxurious Manhattan apartment, has only the most sophisticated friends, and is desired by some of the most successful men in the country. She expects the best that life can offer—and will settle for nothing less. She has worked hard to achieve this life, and she will do anything to keep it.

Honeymoon is very entertaining and it certainly is a very interesting "black widow" story. Really enjoyed the double life of the main character. Jo

I liked the book but I didn't like it as well as I usually like James Patterson. I can't explain it just wasn't up to par for me.

This is a very good and interesting book. I listen in my car to and from work which an hour each way, but I found myself listening to this in my home. It kept me on edge wanting to know what happened next. A must read!!!

(Chapter1) I enjoyed the book very much. (Chapter2) It was great for listening to during a commute. (Chapter3.) The readers were both (Chapter4) excellent. I was pleased they used both a man and a woman as readers. (Chapter5) It would have been tough for a single reader to handle all the (Chapter6)dialogue. Did you find all the chapter changes irritating? Me too! Patterson must get paid by the chapter. 118 chapters in a 7 disc book. Yikes! Multiple chapter changes in a single scene. No idea why he does it, would love to ask him.

Excellent

Patterson lives up to his reputation with this one. Loved it! Keeps you guessing and on the edge of your seat.

It passed the time while driving. Had some suspense but plenty of predictability.

The book was a good listen. I drive an hour to and from work so I listen to audio books. How you can tell they are good is if you get up and get dressed early so you can get in your car to listen to your book. I did not get this feeling with this book BUT it was a good book and I enjoyed the listen but too much drag. I did like the two different voices for the man and woman.

Entertaining

This book was ok. The story line was interesting but its a paperback quality book. Good for a "beach read" if you want to pass the time quickly. Certain parts are very predictable, but it serves its purpose.

This is the best I've heard yet with two narrators, one male and one female. It is very well read.

Patterson, James

James Patterson is an award-winning American author. Formerly the chairman of advertising company J. W. Thompson in the early 1990s, Patterson came up with the slogan "Toys R Us Kid." Shortly after his success with Along Came A Spider, he retired from the firm and devoted his time to writing. The novels-featuring his character, Alex Cross, a black forensic psychologist formerly of the Washington, D.C. Police Department and Federal Bureau of Investigation, now working as a private psychologist and government consultant-are the most popular books among Patterson readers and the top selling US Detective series in the past ten years.

In 2007, one of every fifteen hardcover novels sold was a James Patterson title - totaling an estimated of 16 million books sold last year in North America alone. In total, Patterson's books have sold an estimated 150 million copies worldwide. He has won awards including the Edgar, the BCA Mystery Guild's Thriller of the Year, and the International Thriller of the Year award. James Patterson was called "the man who can't miss" in Time magazine. He is the first author to have #1 new titles simultaneously on The New York Times adult and children's bestsellers lists, and to have two books on NovelTracker's top-ten list at the same time..He holds the New York Times bestsellers list record with 39 New York Times bestselling titles overall.* He even made an appearance on the Fox TV show The Simpsons as himself.

Patterson is also well known for sharing the spotlight with different co-authors such as Maxine Paetro and Andrew Gross and has often said that collaborating with others brings new and interesting ideas to his stories.

He also founded the James Patterson PageTurner Awards, now in its third year. Patterson has personally given away over $600,000 to reward "people, companies, schools, and other institutions who find original and effective ways to spread the excitement of books and reading."

Patterson's bestselling Women's Murder Club series is now a TV show starring former Law & Order star Angie Harmon. The show premiered in the fall of 2007 on ABC television. Other movie deals are currently in the works with various Hollywood studios including a major motion picture based on his Maximum Ride series, to be produced by Avi Arad, the creator of X-Men and Spiderman. Most recently, the forthcoming Dangerous Days of Daniel X has been optioned by New Regency.
