Review by Chrissi (011002) Rating (8/10) Review
by Chrissi The Beach House is a legal thriller about the power that rich people wield over others in their community. It opens with the death of a young man, beaten by hired thugs whilst at a party full of very rich people. His brother is a young law student, working for a prestigious company in New York. Jack takes the death of his brother very badly, and seeing the body bearing the marks of the beating he knows immediately that his brother did not drown. The problem that he has is that any investigation seems to come up against a wall of silence. The proof that his brother was beaten to death comes from an old friend who is now a pathologist, but come the inquest, she is threatened and lies on the stand. Jack and his friends continue to try to solve this mystery and embark on a drastic course of action. A year after the death of Peter, they solve the mystery and show the world that power and money are not the infallible shields that they had once believed. In
spite of the brevity of the story, it is really well written,
and it is nice that James Patterson is writing with other authors,
they retain his style and yet they come out more frequently, I
know this because I've got another one sitting on the shelf, where
it will not remain for long... |
