Suspense This was an easy read about a young man’s immediate struggle to believe his brother’s death was a suicide. As he fights for the truth he learns harsh truths regarding his brother. This battle becomes quite large. There is a unique setup in this story that rallies many. I found myself thinking “ wish this would happen in reality”! Beach House was a title that had been requested by library patrons and we got it with our last few dollars of budget. Jack Mullen is a law student whose younger brother is found dead on the beach in front of ultra-rich Barry Neubauer’s beach house. Everyone wants to label it a suicide, despite the fact that Peter had been badly beaten. Jack goes against everyone, puts his life on hold, and sets out to prove that Peter was murdered. This was such a good book, that I went looking for another book by James Patterson. Wow I needed that after reading "I never played the game". I just sat here and read it straight through in a few hours. It was a quick, easy, compelling read. Patterson is a heck of an author. He writes great characters, protagonists you love to love and villains who are very easy to hate. I wouldn't call it a literary classic, but it was a fun easy read quite contrasted to my previously mentioned previous read. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

HTML:When New York law student Jack Mullen learns that his brother has drowned, he knows it can't be an accident . . . Jack Mullen is in law school in New York City when the shocking news comes that his brother Peter has drowned in the ocean off East Hampton. Jack knows his brother and knows this couldn't be an accident; someone must have wanted his brother dead. But the powers that be say otherwise. 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. Soon he discovers that Peter wasn't just parking cars at the summer parties of the rich. He was making serious money satisfying the sexual needs of the richest women and men in town. The Beach House reveals the secret lives of celebrities in a breathtaking drama of revenge-with a finale so shocking that only James Patterson could have written it.
