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.

Good, but a little disappointed

Written by lilpunkin on August 14th, 2008

I thought this book was very good and I was excited for the ending after the reviews I previously read. I was very, very disappointed! There were many unanswered questions and I called the ending at the beginning of the final disc. It was a good, easy read but I was very unimpressed with the ending.

I was a bit disappointed with this book. It didn't have that "hanging on the edge of your seat" feel to it. I would think that the other gentleman mentioned on the cover (Howard Roughan) is the main proponent on this one, because it's just NOT THAT GOOD. Why? I think because in the beginning, the reader/listener is already made aware who was the killer and why the killings are done. Little is left on the imagination, unlike the Cross series and the Women's Murder Club. One good thing about this though is that the female parts is read by a female, the male parts read by a male. I hate to say this about my now favorite author, but this story was shallow for me.

Fun to listen to

I am not a huge Patterson fan but this book has a lot going for it. It is still written more or less in the Patterson format, but I love the premise and it definitely kept me interested all the way to the end. I hate when books lose momentum and this one doesn't disappoint!

Great! Loved this one - especially good because Hope Davis and Campbell Scott were the readers and just did a great job. Suspenseful and fast paced.

I've always enjoyed James Patterson. While I certainly do not think this is his best book, it could have been worse. That being said, it was way under par for a James Patterson piece. I'll keep reading his books, I just hope the next one isn't as predictable as this one was.

Sizzling yes, but not worth any hype.

Fairly entertaining, but definitely pulp fiction. Satisfying ending.

This was the stupidest story ever written. I am not sure if it was just the badly written dialog or if it was the reading of it out loud that made it unbearable. Worse was that I had to endure all of it only to find out the obvious ending.

Not the best Patterson but a pretty decent one. Far fetched story but it does keep you on the edge of your seat. Big gap in what we are told about Nora's childhood and how she got to where she is at present - wish we were told a little more about it....but the suspense never leaves in keeping with the Patterson style.

Well written; moved right along with no dead spots; character development very good....you almost hoped the lady would get by with it. Another winner by Patterson!

Patterson, James

"James Patterson is one of the top-selling novelists in the world today. His debut novel, THE THOMAS BERRYMAN NUMBER, won the Edgar Award for the best first mystery novel. It was published by Little, Brown in 1976 when he was just twenty-seven years old, after being turned down by more than two dozen other publishers.

He has since written a string of major national bestsellers that includes the seven books in the series featuring detective/psychologist Alex Cross -- ALONG CAME A SPIDER, KISS THE GIRLS, JACK & JILL, CAT & MOUSE, POP GOES THE WEASEL, ROSES ARE RED, VIOLETS ARE BLUE and FOUR BLIND MICE-- as well as THE JESTER SUZANNE'S DIARY FOR NICHOLAS, CRADLE AND ALL, WHEN THE WIND BLOWS, and HIDE & SEEK. There are currently two books in the bestselling ""Women's Murder Club"" series, 1ST TO DIE and 2ND CHANCE.

Paramount Pictures' feature film adaptation of KISS THE GIRLS, starring Morgan Freeman as Alex Cross, was a box office hit in 1997. Morgan Freeman reprised the Cross role in the film adaptation of the first novel in the series, ALONG CAME A SPIDER in 2001. NBC bought the rights to 1ST TO DIE and aired a three hour mini series starring Tracy Pollan and Gil Bellows in February 2003. MIRACLE ON THE 17TH GREEN, a novel co-written with Peter de Jonge, was also made into a television movie, starring Robert Urich.

In addition to writing novels, Mr. Patterson served as chairman of J. Walter Thompson, North America from 1990 to 1996. He began his advertising career as a junior copywriter with the company in 1971 and went on to become the youngest executive creative director and youngest chief executive officer in the company's history. He made his mark at the agency by creating award-winning campaigns for Kodak, Burger King, Toys R' Us, Bell Atlantic, Bristol-Myers and others. He collaborated with advertising colleague Peter Kim to produce the nonfiction bestseller THE DAY AMERICA TOLD THE TRUTH.

Patterson grew up in Newburgh, New York. He graduated summa cum laude with a B.A. in English from Manhattan College and summa cum laude with an M.A. in English from Vanderbilt University.

James Patterson lives in Palm Beach County, Florida, with his wife and their young son."
