Murphy Has returned to the Hamptons to work as a detective. A place where she often visited as a child, but has only now returned. Working alongside her uncle, who happens to be chief of police, was her only option to continue working in this field, due to being forced out of her last job in Manhattan.

A couple has been brutally murdered in the Hamptons. In the one and only Murder House at 7 Ocean Drive. This house, and the long line of people who lived there, has a history revolving around multiple deaths. More people are killed following the death of the couple. How are they all connected? Murphy is dedicated to figuring out who is involved in this horrific series of murders. But along the way, trouble seems to lurk behind her.

One of the James Patterson books I have read in recent years . It's not a fast read with short chapters like his usual books but flows nicely .The ending did catch me by surprise and overall a thoroughly interesting mystery read

It is very good, with some clever plot twists though the identity of the killer is too easy to guess. Would be better had the author clouded the true killer better.

It was a decent book although by the end it had become predictable all in all a good read though.

It's been a while since I've last read such an atrocious writing - all those starred reviews - people, really???!!! Characters were unpleasant and flatly written, dialogues - terrible, monologues - wayyyyyyy beyond terrible, the plot - more like someone's ravings, than a solid thing - and that's the author with a name and popularity. Well, something is seriously wrong with this world then.

I would have rated this book higher if it hadn't used so much foul language. The F-bomb was used in such unnecessary instances, Almost as if to use it just to say it was used. Not my style at all. It totally took from the story for me.
