'BeachRoad' is one of James Patterson's latest offerings (written in collaboration with Peter De Jonge) and like all of his novels it is a tense psychological thriller! Unlike many of his novels which tend to be part of a series (like the Alex Cross series and The Women's Muder Club) this novel is a 'one off' and as a consequence introduces a whole new batch of characters! It is actually quite unusual at the beginning because, a bit like a play, it introduces all the characters in order of appearance. More about these later but before that I will give a brief outline of the plot without giving anything away!
The novel is set in a very affluent area of the Hamptons in an area called BeachRoad. Very near the beginning three young white men are murdered, execution style, in the grounds of one of The BeachRoad homes. Before long ...
Advantages: Another book to add to your James Patterson collection Disadvantages: Nowhere near as good as his other books
For those of you who have read my other reviews you will know that I have a great love of reading and in particular of novels by the great James Patterson.

However, it pains me to say that I was disappointed with BeachRoad. It didn't have the fast paced, page turning abilities that is so apparent in many of his books and I actually found it hard, at times, to concentrate on the story and stay interested.

Advantages: major twist in plot, good all round summer read Disadvantages: possibly predictable, not as good as Cross
Beachroad is a stand alone legal thriller by James Patterson. It revolves around a lawyer, tom Dunleavey, and a man he is trying to get off a triple murder charge, Dante Halleyville.
This book is an ideal summer read; it is only short and took just a day and a bit to complete for me. It is told chapter by chapter from one of the characters? perspectives.
