I love James Patterson, and how the story usually starts with a bang (quite often a murder) in the first chapter. He keeps me entertained, and I enjoy his books. His chapters are short, which is good for when I tell myself "one more chapter!" I will admit that there were a few phrases repeated quite often in this book, which was a tad annoying by the end. Overall it was a good read.
Was a nice light read but nothing special here. The characters were cheesy,the story predictable and wasn't very original.
If you are after a light fasted paced read I would recommend it.

AUDIOBOOK: I’m going to be critical of the book itself and the audio adaption. The book was cheesy with uni dimensional characters and a predictable storyline. It’s entertaining if you’re looking for a superficial “thriller” that doesn’t require much thought. It really annoyed me that they had a male narrator for the male parts and a female narrator for the female parts. It added to the cheesiness and distracted from the lame plot. Lastly I could do without the crappy mood music playing during “climatic” points. James Patterson is better than this.
Assigned for a class assignment; devoured it overnight. It's your usual face-paced crime thriller, but starts with the ending--like Romeo and Juliet. You know how it's going to end, you spend the rest of the book figuring it out. It's a nice departure from trying to guess who the murderer is. It's a study of the murderer and you wonder why she does this.
I hadn't read Patterson before, but this book made me search to see which of his were most popular and will read those next.

A bit predictable, decent read, doesn't leave much to the imagination, but there are a few twists...
Nora Sinclair is living the perfect life, she has a successful business as an interior designer, lives in a mansion in Boston, and is engaged to one of the wealthiest men around. But she's also married to another millionaire in NYC, and flirting with yet another, all while “in mourning” over the murder of her first husband. Either she's one heckuva polygamist or she's great at keeping secrets. It would seem that the latter is the truth. However, federal agent John O'Hara is on to her. He has been suspicious of her since the death of her first husband and he's out to stop her from turning this into the murder and insurance scam of the century. It's been a while since a Patterson novel sucked me in, but this one did. In all, the story does throw you for a roller coaster of a ride as it's told from three different perspectives and there is no warning as to who is speaking from one chapter to the next. But it does tie itself off quite nicely in the end.
