Beach Road written by: J. Patterson & Peter De Jonge

I certainly don't mean to sound like a Patterson groupie or anything, but I have to say Beach Road is yet another fabulous tale full of colorful characters and enthralling story line that you won't want to put down until your done. And then....he or Peter throw us this curve ball just when you think the stories over!

I was initially daunted by the number of characters it tells you from the beginning that we will have to keep straight, but each chapter is titled with the characters name. We are reading their POV for the most part.

The story begins a bit graphic with some of the most colorful characters yet they don't play much of a part in the big story. Tom the washed up ex-athlete now small town lawyer, his old heart throb from high school-Kate who is not washed up but fed up and a young basketball star are the main characters that tell us the story. The story is of a triple murder in a otherwise quiet low crime area of East Hampton.
Add in a drug dealer, a few quick ruthless murders, an old love affair and a town divided by the supposedly racial motivated murders and you've got a heck of a story!

Happy reading and let me know what you think of the ending!
