Beach Road: Review by Barbara



Beach Road

Book Review by Barbara Lechner

James Patterson is a huge success as an author of the detective; murder & crime genre. I've only read one or two other books by him. (One was Beach House (?) that I read by accident thinking it was Beach Road). I've got to admit they are great escapism and page-turners – my goodness, so hard to put down the book.

Beach Road was less violent than I had remembered from another book I read of Patterson's, so I enjoyed reading this a bit better. His story-telling method of each character speaking in a chapter was an interesting approach. I had a hard time really caring much about any of the characters except for Tom Dunleavy and Dante Halleyville; but since the story flows so fast, it's hard to have much concern about that issue.

I think you will enjoy this book for easy reading. If you like mysteries, may I suggest some Agatha Christie.

    So, this book was doomed for me from the start. When I looked it up on line to order it - the very first hit started with the spoiler (no spoiler alert) of who the killer was. It was a struggle to try to read it at night cause it would keep me up!
