The Beach House

Product Information

Motivated by a hundred forms of grief, Jack rallies his hometown friends to help him find the truth of Peter’s death – no matter how rich or corrupt the people who stand in their way. The rich man has a shady past and some evil strong-arm associates who can intimidate witnesses, or even make them disappear.

The Beach House is a breathtaking legal thriller of deceit and revenge-with a finale so shocking, it could only have come from the mind of James Patterson.As Jack tries to uncover details of his brothers last night, he confronts a barricade of lawyers, police, and paid protectors who separate the multibillionaire summer residents from local workers like Peter. Jack tries to uncover what really happened on the beach that night, only to come up against the shadowy people who protect the privileges of the multi-billionaire summer residents.

They feel genuine and realistic, and you almost instantly fear like the similar kind of injustice can happen to you.

You feel Jack’s helplessness, bitterness against the law system and you just can’t wait for him to teach the bad guys a lesson. Not that I mind that he couldn’t gather his emotions, he had a right to be a mess, since his most important person in the world died, but I was really annoyed by some of his actions. This was the first audiobook that I've read (and I've read a lot) that has musical sound effects to compliment the narrator.

His brother Peter is a servant of the rich, parking the cars of the Hamptons' elite --- and perhaps satisfying their more intimate needs as well.I read the reviews before I bought it, and although some of the reviews found this to be an excellent read, others were not very complimentary. Pulled this from the "beach reads" book display at my library, thinking it might be a summer fling Patterson. Peter de Jonge wrote the bestselling novels THE BEACH HOUSE and MIRACLE ON THE 17TH GREEN with James Patterson, and has written for several national publications.

To my knowledge, Patterson has never written Mitchner-length chapters, but he at least used them to build suspense.Jack's relentless crusade puts him into a head-on collision with one of the most powerful and ruthless men in New York, a man who wipes out resistance with a snap of his fingers.
